Hi,

some details:
eggdrop 1.6.10 using complete.conf
linux 2.4.18
connected to: Quakenet

problem: i cant dcc chat with the bot from another location except the machine its running on.

/dcc chat <botnick> doesnt work... keeps waiting for acknowledgement forever.

/ctcp <botnick> chat work, but session is immediately closed.

eggdrop gives the following error:
[11:33] Telnet connection: *.chello.nl/61756
[11:33] Timeout/EOF ident connection
[11:33] Denied telnet: telnet@*.chello.nl, No Access

i added the telnet hostmask to my userdetails, but that didnt help. ive also been experminting with all kinds of settings in the config file

does anyone have a solution for this problem...?

thanks, greetz, birkoff

Add *!*@yourhostmask
I'm assuming you know about static and dynamic IPs, but if your static just throw your whole hostmask in there, if your dynamic do *!*@*.chello.nl for exmaple. The least you can leave out with a * the better.

I have the same problem but what you said didnt solve the problem. Is there any other way?

well you know, i think it has something to do with mIRC. im using mirc on my windows machine, but i cant connect with it to the bot. however, I installed Xchat (win version) and i dont have a problem connecting. so it prolly has something to do with how mirc sends its dcc's and ctcp's.... i did find some settings in the config file that should solve the problem, but they didnt.... im using xchat to dcc my bot for now. i do hope to find a solution. it should work some way. thx for the replies though.... any further help is apreciated...
