I have a problem with all of my IPv6 Bots.
I Can't ctcp chat with them or telnet to them. in putty, I get connection timeout.
When i try to dcc with the bot, I get this message:
DCC Chat session
Client: BOT (255.255.255.255)
Time: Thu Feb 13 15:56:23 2003
Acknowledging chat request...
Invalid IP address
Unable to connect
DCC session closed
Notice the 255 ip.
When I set the 'set-my-ip' from a ipv6 ip to the ip for the server, it removes the ipv6 on the host. (ipv6.something.something.com)
Why? is it trying to connect with ipv4?
I'm no expert in ipv6 either but I think your problem is that your bots have ipv6, and you have ipv4. Unless I am mistaken you cannot make a direct connection between ipv6 and ipv4... can't say for sure though ..have to start reading about ipv6 now..
As for server changing your bot's hostmask.. only a few irc-servers are supporting ipv6, check the irc server your bots are on.
I can /dcc chat with the bot, but not /ctcp NICK chat.
And I can only use ctcp because I have a server on my internet connection blocking something. Argh...
