Can't connect to bot through DDC...

I've used:
/msg botname hello
/msg botname pass pass

and it works great, it replies:
( 18:07:11 ) -emphasize- Hi XD`Unknown! I'm emphasize, an eggdrop bot.
( 18:07:13 ) -emphasize- I'll recognize you by hostmask '*!tomas@*.adsl.mobilix.dk' from now on.
( 18:07:15 ) -emphasize- YOU ARE THE OWNER ON THIS BOT NOW
( 18:07:17 ) -emphasize- As master you really need to set a password: with /MSG emphasize pass <your-chosen-password>.
( 18:07:20 ) -emphasize- All major commands are used from DCC chat. From now on, you don't need to use the -m option when starting the bot. Enjoy !!!
( 18:07:23 ) -emphasize- Your nick was too long and therefore it was truncated to 'XD`Unknow'.
( 18:07:38 ) —› •emphasize• pass pass
( 18:07:39 ) -emphasize- Password set to: 'pass'.

So I'm quite sure that it should work, but when i try to connect to it through DCC then it just say:

Chat with emphasize
Waiting for acknowledgement...

I'm not trying to connect over the internet only local network.

Do you have open ports on your router for dcc ?

try /ctcp bot chat . this will make the bot initiate the chat with you.. Looks like your client may have some problems initiating chats for whatever reason
