I'm having a small problem where my eggdrop is dropping the DCC connection after me not saying anything for 10-15 minutes. Even if its sending me information and the dcc chat isnt totally dead where neither side is saying anything. It just drops. I checked the config file a few times but I must be overlooking something. Any help fixing this would be appreciated.

not an eggdrop problem

likely an ISP problem

My shell provider says he's most confident that its not a problem on their end. As far as I can tell its not a problem on my end as ive used eggdrops longer then this before and never had a problem. You guys says its not an eggdrop problem. I have no clue what it is. I dont get whats going on at all. Is there *ANYWAY* there is a setting in the config that would be doing this? I mean I didnt see one but this is really annoying and I really want to fix it.

no, there is no such setting - and you could have deduced that from my answer

you could try to logically eliminate possible reasons by connecting from another OS, another ISP, or to a bot on another shell account - exploring all combinations

My ex-ISP offered a shell for their customers and one thing I remember always about that shell was that it automatically closed DCC-connections after ~10 minutes. But if your provider is really that confident that there's no problem at their end.. well what can I say

One thing to concider also is the software you are using to connect to the partyline. ex: irc client, telnet client.
