DCC problems
OK - Still not being clear about your setup, here we go.
I am guessing your FreeBSD server is the one with 2 nics in (you did not make this clear).
I am also guessing you are having the trouble connecting to the bot via DCC, using a client on the Win2K box.
From this, the answer to the your my-ip question would be to use the net IP.
The reason you can't DCC chat the bot, is due to the fact you are using NATD.
To get around this, you need to pick a range of ports in your IRC client, that will be allowed to be used for DCC. You should then configure the FreeBSD system to forward all connections to these ports, to the Win2K box.
When you ask for a DCC chat fromt he client, it sends the IP it thinks is your external IP (in your case, it will be the IP of the external cable IP) and a port picked from the range in your settings.
Shen the eggdrop receives the request, it tries to connect to the IP. The problem being, the IP it has sent applies to the FreeBSD box.
