Hi im running this bot on my PC not a paid host, im just using it for testing but I cant connect via DCC or telnet.

I have forwarded the port in my router: 2654 and set it in the config file.

When i try to connect via /ctcp botnick chat it responds:
DCC chat request from (Botnick)/(127.0.1.1) received. Trying to chat through port (2654)...

and

Acknowledging chat request...
Unable to connect
DCC session closed

I have tried changing the ports etc but it wont work and I have set the right range in mirc, i have read the help us to help you topic but dont understand the bit about NAT.

With telnet i have tried connecting via putty with
127.0.1.1 Port 2654
My External IP Port 2654
192.168.0.2 Port 2654
But all of them dont respond and putty closes.

Thanks for any help

If this eggdrop is on your own box then you set the following:

OK ill try that, I do have a router as well:

Netgear DG834G

Edit: still doesnt work with it set to localhost :S

Setting either my-ip or my-hostname will restrict your eggdrop to only listen for incoming connections on this speciffic ip. You really should'nt set it unless you really need to.

I have a faint memory that the DG834G is based on iptables, which has an issue with NAT:ing when you connect to a forwarded port from within the lan-side of the router.

If you wish to specify which ip your eggdrop should advertise in dcc chat requests, aswell as file transfers and such, see the "nat-ip" setting.

I set nat-ip to my external ip but i still cant connect on dcc or telnet

[nml375]

And you made sure neither my-ip nor my-hostname is set?

Yes neither of them set.

[nml375]

If telnet to neither localhost nor localnet works, it would seem your eggdrop either failed to open the listening socket, or some firewall (iptable/ipchains/ipfw/etc) rules is blocking.

See any error messages during startup, or any messages saying bot is listening on port something or similar?

no error messages but it says:

Listening at telnet port 2654 (all)

[nml375]

Would seem it opens the port properly then..
All I can think of then is some iptable/ipchains/ipfw/etc rules blocking the connection.

Hmm how would I fix them?

I have my software firewall disabled in windows (linux is in vmware).

[toxicpc]

Anyone?

[nml375]

I am unfortunately not that familiar with vmware; as for linux, if you're running a recent distro, you'd most likely be using iptables.

As root, run iptables --list filter --verbose --list to list any present firewalling rules within linux.

I still have not figured out how to get dcc or telnet working but I found out i can type commands into the terminal window so I have been.

But .console and other commands such as .adduser do not work it just replys:

What? You need '.help'

Can anyone help?

the bot is probably having a hostmask and/or flag issue. Type .whom in the partyline to see who the bot thinks you are, then use .match <mynick> to see your personal information
