Dcc chat

sandis · Post by **sandis** » Tue Feb 19, 2002 12:57 am

Hi, when I try to dcc chat with my bots it says "Unable to connect" (/ctcp bot chat)
and when i go /dcc chat bot it just stands on "Waiting for acknowledgement..." and nothing happens... i cant dcc chat (from my win comp, but from my linux comp I can)
and no one else can dcc chat....

does anyone know how to fix it?

/ctcp bot chat is either failing due to a user@host error (maybe you haven't got your identd running when you do it?), or a routing issue (ie, bot giving you a unroutable (lan) ip to connect to). /dcc chat bot is either not working due to a user@host mismatch (which i doubt as it responds to ctcp chat), or mirc is giving the bot an unroutable ip, or you've got a firewall blocking ya dcc portrange (default 1024-5000 in mirc)

I'd check the user@host, although the firewall is possible too. Check your identd on linux, and set it as the same in Windoze (if you have a spoofing identd server, e.g. mIRC). If not, try /msg <bot nick> IDENT <password>

I have my ident right.. I can get op , ident myself.. but I cant chat..
hmm, then it must be something with the firewall..... hmm... but my linux comp just shares the internet.....?..

Oopps.. you said that CTCP didn't work either! I'd say it was a firewall prob for sure.. something i'm not clued up on!

I don't know what client your on, but check you haven't done something simple, like ignore all DCC Chats.

Client: Skane (127.0.0.1) ?

127.0.0.1 = Localhost

I am wondering if that is the problem, and its not resolving your hostname correctly?

I had a problem getting my DCC to work, copy the mirc.exe file to a new directory, and run it. It will create a new mirc.ini file, and sometimes fixes the problem (well mine it did).

reading the mirc manual would be a start, but that isnt the problem. as i said in my initial answer, the bot is returning an unroutable ip. bind your bot to a routable ip instead of localhost.
