Hello everyone,

I am having an issue with being able to dcc chat my bot. The bot is compiled and installed correctly, and the configuration file seems to be in order. I am using IP masquerading on my linux box (the same box the eggdrop is running on) with 1 NIC installed. Interfaces that are set up are: eth0 -> [outside ip.] and eth0:1 -> 192.168.0.1 (virtual interface so the rest of my network can access the internet, etc.) The problem is, when i try to dcc chat the bot, it keeps on trying to connect to 192.168.0.1 instead of my outside ip. I also get the same error when i try to dcc chat with a regular irc client that is running on the same machine as well.

I know this isn't really an eggdrop problem, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to resolve it. (i am using IPCHAINS for my masquerading rules)

Thanks,
