Have you tried every way to get on your bot?

Code: Select all

/dcc chat bot

or

Code: Select all

/ctcp bot chat

or used a telnet client such as PuTTy?

Maybe it's because your host... You need to have same host as you have it on net where it works...

]Kami[ is correct if the new server displays your host differently to the other server i.e. your ident is prepended with a tilde ~ which you didnt compensate for when you added your host to the bot or the server uses the +x mode and maybe hides your host or encodes it into a hex string to protect you from script kiddies the bot may not recognise you.
