is there a way to make it respond on a query ?
Make sure that you have open port for telnet/dcc. If you have router and you run bot on your pc, telnet to your bot with using it's private/local ip...
You probably forget to set users port in config file. It should be something like this: listen 9999 users or listen 9999 all
Of course 9999 port must be free and open for incoming connections from outside.
well i found out how to telnet the bot via putty program.
but still i cant control my bot via DCC Chat. when i enter command /ctcp bot chat, bot opens a new window, but i get such a message: DCC Chat session
Client: bot (81.7.117.164)
Time: Mon Dec 06 18:21:08 2004
Acknowledging chat request...
Unable to connect
DCC session closed
what the reason could be here?
or maybe it is my mirc client problem?
when you /dcc CHAT someone (including an eggdrop bot), you relay to the other party your IP and listening port number; then they try to connect to your IP on that port; if you (your IRC client actually) supplied to them an incorrect IP (NAT problems, local misconfiguration, etc.) or/and port incapable of listening (firewall problems, etc.), they won't be able to connect to you, thus rendering DCC CHAT initiated by you impossible
when you /ctcp bot CHAT, this forces the bot to send a DCC CHAT request to you - just the opposite of the above scenario; if the bot is misconfigured (behind closed firewall, behind non-forwarding NAT, not listening on ports, etc.), you won't be able to connect to it ("Unable to connect", "DCC session closed")
so, if you insist on using /ctcp bot CHAT (as opposed to /dcc CHAT bot), examine carefully your bot's config and other local network-related configurations (firewall, NAT, etc.) you might have, and take appropriate measures to remedy the above mentioned problems
