userfile sending prob [again/still]

[gogo]

ok, I am getting this strange userfile sending problem too. I read almost every post about this problem in this forum but I didnt find a solution.
I just wanna put a little bit effort into this now so we maybe get the thing solved. therefore I try to be as precise as possible in the following description.

my botnet consists of 2 bots.
the HubBot is on a firewalled box with a static, public IP. the leafbot is on a firewalled box with a dynamic, public IP.
the firewalls are bocking ICMP; the listening and dcc-range ports are opened.

here are the partyline messages (just for the sake of completness ;> they have been posted here thousand times before)

::: case 1 - HubBot linking to LeafBot :::

Failed link to HubBot.

configuration HubBot:

Code: Select all

set my-ip "123.456.78.90"
[...]
listen 1234 all
set protect-telnet 1
set ident-timeout 60
set open-telnets 0
set stealth-telnets 1
set connect-timeout 60
set paranoid-telnet-flood 1
set resolve-timeout 60
[...]
set reserved-portrange 1234:4321
[...]
set allow-resync 0

transfer, filesys and shared module loaded and working. as you can see: I increased all timeouts form 15 secs to 60 but it's still not working.

the configuration on the LeafBot looks almost the same. with only one difference:

Code: Select all

set my-hostname "LeafBot.hostname.from.dyndns.org"

because the LeafBot has a dynamic IP I set up an host from dyndns for it.
a demon is updating the hostname regularly so the hostname always links to the current dynamic IP.

I can telnet in to both bots on the specific listening ports, so the firewall should not be the problem.
but tbh I dont know what else I could try. I hope anyone here got a good idea.

thx for reading

edit:
both boxes dont have an identd running

ok, finally I got it working.
my problem was that the dcc-port ranges, which are used for file-fransfers, were not the same ranges on both bots.


big thanks to hellios who helped me a lot figuring this out.
