Got a problem with my bots IP binding.
My bot is running on my server wich enables another 3 computers to internet.

The bot binds itselfs to my internal network ip.
I know about the option to configure your outside ip but my real ip changes randomly, sometimes after a day, sometimes after a week. Can't do anything about it.

DCC chat and telnetting become useless when outside my network. Any sollutions?

Write a small tcl script to find our your ip when the bot starts and set my-ip accordingly ... should be pretty easy on *nix .. I think have a .exe laying around for windows that will give you your current ip.

Can you just comment out the set my-ip thing? Eggdrop binds to INADDR_ANY by default, so it should work on your internal network and from outside.

i've had a few shells where i have to set my-hostname "localhost"
or
set my-ip "127.0.0.1"

sometimes i've gotten both of those to work when nothing else would, but i'm not sure thats the same problem you're having, but you could try them.

Back from vacation and have looked into the problem.
"localhost" doesn't work. Bot won't connect to irc anymore then.
The other suggestion about a script sounds very nice but my knowledge about scripts is about 0

Allready looked in the script database but nothing is listed there that could solve it....

You can always "telnet" into the bot..
if you are on a LAN.. just find the boxs ip..
in linux go to root then type "ifconfig"
it sys the "ip"

windows the dos command is "ipconfig"

Go into your "conf" file and find what port you have open..
Then do these steps..

1. C:/wundows: telnet <localhost> <3333>
Change the "<>" for what you need

or in linux
<SniperAC@observers> telnet <localhost> <3333>
Change the "<>" for what you need
2.Enter nick & password
________________________________________
ok all addys on a "IRC" server have a *!*@

ex. sniperac@obs-48894.tnt1.burlington.nc.da.uu.net

you can do alot of things with this
1. you can add nc.da.uu.net
2. add burlington.nc.da.uu.net

thos two are good for now tho
___________________________________________
all commands in the "bot" telnet starts with "."

type ".+host <handle> <hostmask>"
Changeing "<>" to what you need

Ex.
.+host Sniperac *!*burlington.nc.da.uu.net
__________________________________________
Rember to put "*!*" Thats telling it Any one on burlington.nc.da.uu.net is you but wont give them you Password...

same with nc.da.uu.net
____________________________________________
now whin I had road runner that was alil harder but I got "Sniperac@obs-68.22.45.triad.rr.com"
so I used "triad.rr.com" "rr.com" stays the same thro out the USA.. "triad" is where Road runner is located that changes..
Ex.
".+host SniperAC *!*triad.rr.com"

I Hope this helps ya if not Just call me a dumb Fuc* and ignore me

Well.. i'm not having any difficult to get into DCC chat with him since my bot binds itselfs to 192.168.0.1 <- internal network IP. So on LAN it works perfect. But other people can't get DCC chat or telnet to it since 192.168.0.1 isn't really a ip to communicate with...

So i need something that will learn my bot that my internal network ip isn't the correct one to bind to....

With adding users with hostmasks and stuff í haven't got any probs btw.

as has been already said, the only way you're gonna achieve this is by scripting it. this would probably be best achived in tcl when loading the .conf - use an external program to grab the proper ip into a tcl var (ipconfig for windows, and there's plenty ones you could use for *nix), and assign it to $my-ip

You are gonna have a problem if the cpu thats running the bot is behind the out-side server/ the main "cpu" thats connected to the internet...
(but it should work if it is on that server)

you will have to find a program to open the port needed to "DCC"

in linux there are a cupple... just do a serch on http://www.google.com for it i dont rember the name....

windows servers: ( I know nothing about )
try haven them connect to port "3333"
or the port you set

** It Doesnt give an error msg?" ** like use the command to start the bot

" eggdrop -n " ( -n will let you see whats hapening) ask them to connect to the bot see if it picks it up...

Tnx Petersen.. will look for such a thing.

And SniperAC:
The error message is quite simple;
When you're initiating a DCC chat you see:
ParoXysm (192.168.1.1)

And yes the bot is running on the server and not behind it.

Petersen · Post by **Petersen** » Wed Oct 24, 2001 3:35 pm

perhaps if you tell me what os the box is running, i may be able to throw a rough script for you to modify.

Uh....
Most people will go crazy when i tell em i run a windrop...
Linux server is scheduled to be set up somewhere next month, so until then i'm running a windrop on win98SE since the server is used by other people who only have basic computer knowledge.

SniperAC · Post by **SniperAC** » Wed Oct 24, 2001 9:21 pm
