2 windrops on one box

[Crazy Firefighter]

I currently run one windrop on a w2k server and I would like to add another for a different network in hopes of linking them together to relay all chat

being somewhat new to running bots, i certainly could use some help.

[Crazy Firefighter]

please post in retard talk so i can understand

I understand i can place a few files and run 2 instances from the same shaabaam

I cant seem to figure that out

once i get this f00ker going, i then need to link them - again explained in retarese please

im fairly certain i can take care of the mirror relay script on my own... but if you wanna explain that part too id be happy to read it

for running 2 bots you simply need to create a new .conf file and edit its botnetnick, userfile, pidfile, chanfile, notefile and servers.
for establishing botnets and channel relays, there are tutorials and scripts, so you should look for them ^.^.

[Crazy Firefighter]

what do you mean by servers?


how do i properly start each bot after?

is it all in the same telnet?

[^DooM^]

from cmd prompt do

Code: Select all

eggdrop.exe eggdrop1.conf
eggdrop.exe eggdrop2.conf

ok.. i think i missread

i change all those things in the config file and just copy that 1 file over? and not copy those individule files over?

ok i may be starting to get it >_<

[Crazy Firefighter]

from cmd prompt do

Code: Select all

eggdrop.exe eggdrop1.conf
eggdrop.exe eggdrop2.conf

absoloutly nothing happens

I tried each config as a stand alone i can get a bot started on each network no problem

just not at the same time

perhaps...

when i rename the conf file for 2nd server to eggdrop1 it makes it unusable...

that have something to do with it?

[Crazy Firefighter]

alright

i simply duble clicked the executable in the 2nd instance of windrop and it got the other bot up and running.. Both bots currently running


the part i dont understand is how do i view/run commands for bot2 in telnet?

[^DooM^]

Make sure you changed the

Code: Select all

listen 3333 all

port in one of your configs to a different port or you will have a lot of trouble trying to telnet to either bot. Also you should not leave the port set to 3333 on either bot as it is the default port and could be a security risk.

i cant get a link even with following these http://www.egghelp.org/enhance.htm instructions

is there something in the conf files i need to lmodify?

(im good with the port, but ty for the heads up)

[^DooM^]

Are you on a network at all? Are your windrops running on a seperate machine or on the same machine your trying to telnet into? If you are on a network instead of using 127.0.0.1 to telnet to your windrops try using your network ip instead i.e. 192.168.0.1. If you dont know what your network IP is do this from a command prompt.

Code: Select all

ipconfig /all

also try playing with your NAT-IP settings in the config file.

i got them linked

the bots are on 1 machine (w2k server) on a home netwoerk (yes a router)

what I ended up doing on some advice was deleting all the bots from each other and doing this

.+bot bot1 192.168.0.3:port #
.+bot bot2 192.168.0.3:port #

once i did that i set one bot +h and they linked

my-ip and nat ip are both commented

Someone with some brains should realy do a tutorial on setting up a botnet for bots all running on 1 machine behind a router (or something like the same)

no conventional instructions worked Ive searched these forums and faq

but I did recieve good help from you guys, ty much

[^DooM^]

Standard eggdrops running on a *nix box rarely has these problems. I see it time and time again on here people struggling with multiple windrops on the same windows machine Now you know how to do it maybe you should write a tutorial

[Crazy Firefighter]

>_<


i said "someone with some brains"

that clearly excludes me
