When I am on erlier I have no problem DCC chating with my bot but for some random reson later on it seems as if I cant DCC chat with it unless i use the ctcp chat command. and even when I do that there are some wierd letters that would usualy not be there or some txt will be invisible.

this is my own compter that I am running my bot on and all ports are open on router for both the eggdrop and my irc client. I can not figure out why it would work early in the day then crap out.

please if anyone has an idea I can sure use it because this makes no sence to me

Well I checked out the Help Us To Help You reference and from what I could see with all the dcc common errors it doesn't seem to have my problem on there. Like for instance I never logged out of irc last night nor turned my eggy off and not I can dcc chat with the bot like normal all I want as if nothing is wrong.

It just seems to be at random times that the ports don't seem to work from what I can tell. I forward all the port ranges in my router and labled them all so I know that none of them are overlapping. And all ports that I am using are only being used by the programs I want them to be used for.

If this was just a thing where I could never dcc with my bot I know there would be some sort of mistake on my part but this seems to be random except for the fact that it usualy happens late at night. Any insight or if someone has the same problem that would be great if you post it here so I dont seem to be the only one

Just incase it is important I am running my eggdrop 1.6.18 on Ubuntu. and like I said before all my ports are working fine 95% of the time. I know this isn't a major problem but I just cant seem to find what is wrong with it.

As to remove the strange characters, use the .fixcodes command to toggle between dcc and telnet-mode. (ctcp chat basically makes your client telnet your eggie, rather than telling your eggie to connect to some random port opened by your irc client).

As for the router-issue, have you checked the logs on your eggie to see what ctcp-message (dcc chat request is a simple ctcp command as well), which ip and port was sent, and whether your eggie attempted the connection or thought it to be bogus.
