I am almost pulling my hair out on this one. I have searched through the forum, but could not find anything that seems relevant.

My bot, at times, allows me to /ctcp it and at other times (the majority) it does not. It also seems to affect whether or not I can add to my learn script (I can when I'm able to /ctcp the bot).

I'm determined to find out what is wrong as I would like to develop my knowledge of eggdrop further and also develop my bot into a useful member of my chatroom.

TIA

check your client program's IP setting
if your client thinks it has a different IP then your outgoing IP the bot will not connect

Thank you for your reply, but I am going to sound really pathetic here. Which client do you mean? My irc client or the bot client?

your IRC client (mIRC, BitchX, X-Chat, KVirc, etc...)

Right. I know my outgoing IP, but I don't know how to check my xchat ip.

With regard to the other question, I have

set ctcp-mode 0

Thanks. In the preferences I found a network section and they had a bind option there. I have put my ip in there. My computer will be automatically rebooting in a bit so I can check to see if it works when I return Smile

No. Putting my ip into the bind section of the network options in xchat, but I still cannot ctcp to the damn thing Sad

I found another setting which was relating to DCC and it had the option of getting my ip from my server. I tried that, restarted and still no joy. I also tried using /dcc chat bot and was presented with;

Failed to bind to any address or port.

Sorry. My head is just swimming over this.

Thank you Alchera. I have gone through what you suggested, but I still cannot connect to the bot. I even stopped it and restarted it all with no luck.

I cannot dcc chat or ctcp to my bot. Surely if I have set myself up as the owner of the bot, then I should have no problems with it responding to me or am I wrong?

Okay. I didn't find out what was wrong. So I just deleted all the files that eggdrop created and run it again. Once it was up, I was able to register again and connect to my bot without problems.

Thank you all for your help though. I did learn quite a bit Smile

for others information: if you do not save your configure file after registering 'hello' and your eggdrop dies or get killed. You are not its master that could be the problem here so do not forget to save userfile with '.save all' in partyline to make sure your infos are saved.
