Hi!
I have a problem with my eggdrop connecting through a firewall.
I wrote set firewall "router:1080", the bot is connecting, but it says
always:
[16:22] Connected to irc.kie.de.euirc.net
[16:22] -ERROR from server- Closing Link: [172.184.184.83] (Ping timeout)

the bot connected once, but maybe it'll do it again after 100 tries...

What can I do?

Thanks!

Bye!

...i don't know it - just an idea:

the server disconnects u because of a ping timeout. does your router respond to pings? you may have setup a packetfilter that blocks ICMP-traffic - and as far as i know socks doesn't support any kind of ICMP-forwarding. try pining your router from an other computer on the inet...

thats not the reason. the reason is that the server is sending an irc ping before its finished authentication. this suggests that auth is taking too long, so either dns or ident is messed.

ircds don't use icmp pings

I'd agree with Peterson. Both events are timed at 16:22, which would suggest it is during Authentication, as this generally has a shorted Ping timeout than once connected. I have this same problem sometimes when running WinDoze. The only way I can get it to work is trying differant server ports (6666-6669, 7000 etc)
