i cant connect via dcc with my bot.

ive been through the help pages and guide, set all the right settings i think.

if i try to initiate the dcc chat, it just stays on waiting for aknowledgement.
if i make the bot try and dcc me, i always get the error 'lost connection while identing' ... 'password timeout on dcc chat' in the telnet window.

any ideas?

ive tried ctcp <bot> chat, like i said...

when i do that i get the messages:

'lost connection while identing'
'password timeout on dcc chat'

in the telnet window.

the bot is on the same local machine, i have my ip's set correctly in the config file, port forwarded and set correctly, and the right port and ip set in mirc, and the lookup method is set to normal.

ive tried all the suggested steps.

i just tried that, and it didnt make any difference.

still the same errors.

I use a Windrop and have "set my-ip" to my actual IP and it works like a charm; but I also do not have a router.

I believe there's a DMZ zone that needs to be set?

One thing worth mentioning, depending on your router/nat solution, is that NAT's based on ipchains/iptables do not send packets through the nat-prerouting table that are of "local origin". Unfortunately, outbound packets (from a host behind the nat), with a destination to one of the addresses of the router will be considdered of "local origin".

Keep in mind that nat-routers using a different technique than iptables/ipchains might operate in different manners and might not be affected by this issue.


Does manually telnetting to your bot work with either lan or external ip?

i can open a telnet connection with the bot using the internal router assigned ip, but not by using my external ip address.

[nml375]

Then I would suspect your nat/router uses iptables or such. Unfortunately there is no easy fix for this, as if you would alter nat-ip to send the lan-ip you'd be able to atleast use ctcp-chat, but anyone else would'nt. Same would go with changing mIRC's local address to the lan-ip (allows you to dcc your bot, but you wont be able to dcc anyone else)
