finally just switched to windows xp, running the ics tool. since i am now not the server on our network, now when i connect to irc via my client, it subs my ident with the user part of the email i specify in the irc setup. the bot was unresponsive to both msg and dcc chat attempts. so i went into my shell and manually edited the user file to the now new mask i was on. really just the ident changed. but the bot is still unresponsive. i aint even sure if editing that file woulda helped, but i did it anyways. any help would be appreciated.

Enter a PVT session with your bot, and type IDENT <PASS>. This will add your new hostmark. If the bot is unresponsive to this, you may have disabled the command in the conf file, check it out. These are two lines reading:

unbind msg - ident *msg:ident
unbind msg - addhost *msg:addhost

if these are preceded by a # (comment), then the bot will not read them, remove the # at the start and try again. If still no luck add this line below them as well:

bind msg - ident *msg:ident

---------------------------------------------
As a *last resort*, kill the bot, and restart it with a new user file: ./eggdrop -, yourconfig.conf
---------------------------------------------

Hope this helps! Join #toxic on IrCQNet and i'll help you some more if you need it :smile:
