Linking bots locally on a box with a NAT

Hi, I never tried linking bots through a NAT before, and I have tried pretty much everything I can think off, but just can not get them to link.

I set nat-ip to the external IP, uncommented my-ip.

I tried linking the bots with the following addresses:

localhost
127.0.0.1
external ip address
external hostname
nat ip address

None of these seem to work. The ports are also open.

This is the exact error message I get when the leaf tries to connect:

Code: Select all

[22:39] Telnet connection: 192.168.1.1/52204
[22:39] Timeout/EOF ident connection
[22:39] Refused telnet@192.168.1.1 (non-bot)
[22:39] Lost Bot: statz0r

Any ideas?

Add that host to the leaf? .help +host

Already did that.

Also, when linking, there is no indication at all on the bot being linked to.

When linking from leaf to hub, it shows:

Code: Select all

[11:00] Telnet connection: 192.168.1.1/53856
[11:00] Timeout/EOF ident connection
[11:00] Refused telnet@192.168.1.1 (non-bot)
[11:00] Lost Bot: bot1

...immediately after trying to link.

When trying to link from hub to leaf, I get this:

Code: Select all

[10:58] Linking to bot2 at 192.168.1.1:17100 ...

...and after a while:

Code: Select all

[10:59] Failed link to bot2
[10:59] Lost connection while resolving hostname [192.168.1.1/53850]

No.

[11:00] Refused telnet@192.168.1.1 (non-bot)
[22:39] Lost Bot: statz0r

It does not recognize a "bot".
Make sure the set-botnick is the same as the .+bot botnick
You may have added .+bot nick (online nick) instead of what the conf has.

Also, lookover the ports for users/bots or all

Alright, thanks. I was stupid enough to use upercase in the botnet nick while I added it with lowercase.

I've got a new problem now though. When I link the bots I get this:

Hub:

Code: Select all

[10:49] Challenging leaf...
[10:49] Linked to leaf.
*** Linked to leaf
[10:49] Creating resync buffer for leaf
[10:49] Sending user file send request to leaf
[10:49] Disconnected from: leaf. No reason (lost 1 bot and 1 user)
*** Disconnected from: leaf. No reason (lost 1 bot and 1 user)
[10:49] (Userlist transmit aborted.)

Leaf:

Code: Select all

[10:50] Received challenge from Hub... sending response ...
[10:50] Linked to Hub.
*** Linked to Hub
[10:50] Downloading user file from Hub
[10:50] Lost userfile transfer from Hub; aborting.
*** Hub
[10:50] (Userlist download aborted.)

The hub flags on the leaf bot are +ghp.
The leaf flags on the hub are +gls.

My-ip is set to the EXTERNAL ip address on both bots.
Nat-ip is set to the INTERNAL one. So are the addresses in the userfile.
Hostmasks have been added through +host on both bots.
Portranges are reserved on both bots.

Any ideas?

... still have not figured it out.

I had problems with the resync-buffer a few times, just remove it completely.
It's in the transfer mod (conf)
