From eggdrop.conf:
# If you want to have your Eggdrop messages displayed in a language other
# than English, change this setting to match your preference. An alternative
# would be to set the environment variable EGG_LANG to that value.
#addlang "english"
Unless running in any other language other than English there is no need for this setting. The other scenario is that you are using a mismatched user file. The easiest solution is to just delete it and start the bot with the -m option. :)

rm <filename>
You'll find the filename in your eggdrop config file, look for 'set userfile'.

likely firewall problem

in order to successfully initiate DCC CHATs, eggdrop needs to be able either to open, listen and accept TCP connections on arbitrary ports, or on a port range defined in the global configuration variable reserved-portrange

so have your admin open listening port(s) for your bot at the firewall, and define reserved-portrange; or use /dcc CHAT <bot> instead of /ctcp <bot> CHAT (this will force eggdrop to connect to you, not vice versa)

then your bot might be also prevented, by firewall means, from connecting to arbitrary ports on outside hosts

bottom line: talk to your admin and ask for firewall opening

(also beware that if your bot is behind NAT, you need to set nat-ip to your external IP)
