You can try these methods:
1. add to yourself a host -telnet!*@* to use telnet from everywhere
2. We say that your dynamic host looks like dynamic-18.somehost.com You can add to yourself a host *!Ident@*.somehost.com
3. You can add to yourself by nick: Nick!*@*
4. You can add to yourself by ident: *!ident@*

where do i add that? can you give me a link or show me the steps plz? i never have added a host before? is it in the conf file?

Adding nick!*@* or *!ident@* is very insecure and is never recommended. You simply need to telnet to your bot and add your new host to your handle. Another things to look at are the private ident and addhost commands in the .conf file.

and how the format should be like this:
add ~chubby@*.telenor.net

oh.. you mean thru dcc chat.. i thought it was the conf file that i was supposed to add. I can't dcc chat to it now since it dont recognizes me.
how else can i add myself in? someone on irc told me to telnet in but i dunno how and he wasn't specific and didn't tell me more than that. thaks in advance.
do i need to edit a new conf file , msg hello , then add my host ? is there a way to get around making a new conf file?

when i ssh into the shell and remover the bot.user file, with this command: rm bot.user
then ls
i dont see the file but when i restart the bot the file appears agian
why??

Because you are supposed to kill the bot for a start and then delete BOTH .user and .user~bak
