My eggdrop (Nick: smalldave) is not responding to any of the commands I give it.
Where do you give these commands?public or dcc?
I think you have problem with id@host, so for now use telnet ip:port(the port you have set into eggdrop.conf) and then do .whois handle(your handle, or if you dont understand do .match *). So you'll see the settings of your handle, if it is wrong with your host do .+host handle nickname!*id@*.domain.
