I am not sure I have this thing setup correctly for DCC

I have tried and tried to dcc the bot, but I get mixed results.

A couple times I have connected and the commands will operate normally.
More times than that, I get this message on my server window from the bot itself saying "No telnet port"
And just recently I am getting an unable to connect and the dcc closes.

I have identified myself. And now when I try the bot says "I recognize you there"

When trying this command:
/dcc chat bot
All that happens is waiting for acknowledgement

When trying this command:
/ctcp bot CHAT
I usually either get the "no telnet port" or "unable to connect" errors.

When it actually worked, the /dcc chat bot would open a dcc to the bot like it should.

I don't know what to do.

In my bots config I have these lines, which may be a problem:
listen 8888 all
listen 4444 users

In mIRC itself, I have the dcc port setup as 59.

Should I maybe put a "listen 59 all" line in the config?

Been there and done that =/

Something is buggy and I'm not sure what.

After I made that post I tried setting a nat-ip and that didn't work.
And then I was getting an invalid IP thing.

So I went into putty and killed the bot process and restarted it.
And lo and behold, DCC worked fine.

Then I was disconnected because of a phone call.
I load up mIRC on my return, and of course the same error comes up again.

Trying to dcc it either gets waiting for acknowledgement or the unable to connect error.

So it works sometimes and other times it gets all b****y and refuses to work.

I've been through dozens of threads on this forum and I can't find anthing to help me.

One problem that could be causing this.
I am using People PC to connect to the internet.

It could be I need to set my-hostname or my-ip but how do I find those?

Now it's working again.


So maybe it's something with the shell?

Or some glitch that causes minor annoyances.

I'm new, so I can't say for sure.

A bit more information has occurred to me over this problem.

When the DCC is attempted with /ctcp
I get the chat window and a message, giving me the bot name and then in parentheses one of the three IPs of the shell server I'm using.

The problem is, on this IP, the .64, it's unstable. When trying to access it with Putty or WinSCP I end up with errors saying No Route to Host.

This is not all the time, just a bunch.

The other two IPs on the server are .65 and .66.

And naturally the IP that comes up with the bot on all my DCC chat attempts is .64.

So how would I setup it's config file to only attempt DCC through the .66 IP which is much more stable.

That in itself may help, but I'm not sure how to work it.
