Can't dcc with bot..

mol · Post by **mol** » Mon Oct 15, 2001 9:14 am

Hi there. I'm using an Eggdrop 1.6.6, and it's functioning really well, except for one thing. A lot of users can't dcc with it. I can. Never had any problems with it, but so far no one else has been able to do so. If I add a user with the following flags:
global: hp
his channel: mno
And furtermore: The users with the dcc-problems are using mIRC, but not behind a firewall. And the bot is also running on a non-firewalled machine. Is it a mIRC-setting?! Or maybe eggy-config??? Hope someone can help me.

There should be some sort of error, or logged antry as yo what happened.

Please loctae i=t and paste it here.

If there isn't one, try changing your console settings.

In mIRC it looks like this:

DCC Chat session
Client: HillB0tty (10.10.10.100)
Acknowledging chat request...
Unable to connect!
DCC session closed

In the console/logs I can see something like this:

CTCP CHAT: from rhaz (peter@ip345.boanxx4.adsl.tele.dk)

And that's all.

10.10.10.100 is an ip address within a local intranet netblock (10.0.0.0/24), and cannot be used over the internet. You have to set the mirc settings to use your real ip as shown over the net, not your lan ip

Thats is actualy the bots IP.

This is an eggdrop config error. Did you specify a v-host in the bots config file?

If not (and no IP), then the bot is bound to BIND_ANY, which is why it is telling mirc to connect ot the invalid address.

To fix this, specify a v-host & IP. If there isn't one, specify the IP & V-host that it uses to connect to irc with (obtained via a /whois).

If this fails, then the bot is sitting behind a firewall, or some sort of NAT router. To get around this, tell your friends to use "/ctcp <botnick> CHAT" instead of a standard DCC chat.

Thanks for the quick anwers.. It never occured to me that the v-host setting could do it. But I did like you said, and of course it worked.. Thanks for the help.
