Chat problems

CKr · Post by **CKr** » Sat Feb 01, 2003 6:54 pm

I have setup my eggdrop on FreeBSD 4.7. I am using natd to share my internet connection with the rest of the computers on the network (all others are windows machines). That is working fine, I can access the web via any computer on the network. Now for the problem. I cant DCC chat with my bot. I can however telnet into it and I see this when I try DCCing:

[17:41] DCC invalid port: CHAT (CKr!~krug65@12-227-127-219.client.attbi.com)
[17:41] CTCP DCC: CHAT chat from CKr (~krug65@12-227-127-219.client.attbi.com)

I have also tried /ctcp BotName chat and I get this:
[17:51] CTCP CHAT: from CKr (~krug65@12-227-127-219.client.attbi.com)

but I don't get a chat request from the bot. I have a feeling it has something to do with set my-ip or set my-hostname I do have set my-ip as my internal ip address (192.168.0.1).

I'm very new to the Unix and eggdrop world so go easy on me. But I am by no means new to computers.

Regards,
Cory

take a look at this around line 300 of your conf

Code: Select all

# If you have a NAT firewall (you box has an IP in one of the following
# ranges: 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255, 172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255,
# 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255 and your firewall transparently changes your
# address to a unique address for your box) or you have IP masquerading
# between you and the rest of the world, and /dcc chat,/ctcp chat or
# userfile sharing aren't working, enter your outside IP here. Do not
# enter anything for my-ip or my-hostname if you use this setting.
# set nat-ip "192.168.0.1"

Jeeze I can't believe I forgot about that. Okay, one more question for ya. What about if I have a dynamic IP? Will I just have to update it whenever it changes or can I use a wildcard? I did try putting my current outside ip in but it still doesn't seem to work. I can now do /ctcp BotName chat but it sits and says Acknoledging and times out.

if you have a dymanic ip you will have to keep reseting it. also be sure to comment out my-ip and my-hostname if you are settin nat-ip. if all else fails just set up your gateway to forward all requests for the port you specified in your conf to the eggdrops host for outside telnet access.

This is actually locally that I can't access the bot. I think everyone on the internet can. I'll look into my configs again later. Thanks for your help.

What is dcc-portrange set too? I bet you have set it wrong -- it should be 1024:65535.

Why did you limit it to 5000? Have you tried "set dcc-portrange 1024:65535" like guppy suggested??

mIRC had it set to 5000 by default I guess. Yes I did try upping it. Still no go.

We are not talking mIRC here, but the "dcc-portrange" setting in the eggdrop configuration.

Hmm..I set the dcc portrange to 4990-5000 and I have had no problems at all.... It will just use one of the ports specified will it not?
These are the ports I forwarded on router

I now did try using set dcc-portrange 1024:65532 and still no go. I have a feeling it just doesn't like my setup in some way. I'll just stick to using telnet. Thank you for all your help!
