OK - Still not being clear about your setup, here we go.

I am guessing your FreeBSD server is the one with 2 nics in (you did not make this clear).

I am also guessing you are having the trouble connecting to the bot via DCC, using a client on the Win2K box.

From this, the answer to the your my-ip question would be to use the net IP.

The reason you can't DCC chat the bot, is due to the fact you are using NATD.

To get around this, you need to pick a range of ports in your IRC client, that will be allowed to be used for DCC. You should then configure the FreeBSD system to forward all connections to these ports, to the Win2K box.

When you ask for a DCC chat fromt he client, it sends the IP it thinks is your external IP (in your case, it will be the IP of the external cable IP) and a port picked from the range in your settings.

Shen the eggdrop receives the request, it tries to connect to the IP. The problem being, the IP it has sent applies to the FreeBSD box.

As stated in my first reply to you, we are unable to help unless we know more about your setup.

How are you connected to the net? Modem, broadband?

How do you share the connection between multiple computers? Router, linux machine, windows machine?

Ok, there is no shame in a typo slipping past you! The whole problem was his my-ip setting in the conf had an extra digit in it.

The are litteraly limitless solutions, which depend on the curcumstances. However, not knowing the curcumstaces doesn't help.

I don't suppose you could post what tainted did to help you? Cuz i'm having the same problem. I use FreeBSD and i'm trying to get my eggdrop working. It connects to the server (gamesnet) all fine, i msg it and i became the owner but i can't DCC chat with it :/

any tips/suggestions are welcomed heh.

One of the things you did not state, is how the 2 computers are connected to the internet (connection type (adsl, cable) is not an issue).

Do you use a router, do you have 2 NIC's in the linux box, and pipe connections using NAT?

If you use a router, then the network has 3 internal IP's, and one external.
1 internal on linux box (EG 192.168.1.2)
1 internal on your box (EG 192.168.1.3)
1 internal and 1 external on router (EG 192.168.1.1 and 212.159.100.246)
To work in this situation, you should setup the bot in the following way. Set my-ip to the linux box's internal network IP (192.168.1.2) and find the NAT ip setting, and use the external IP there (212.159.100.246).

And you have set my-ip "your external ip" in your conf file?

Do you have a ipfilter or firewall setup at all? If so, and it defaults (or is configured) to a closed ruleset, have you added the correct rules to allow traffic to/from that port? I assume you know how to properly setup routing, and that everything in that dept is correct. Can/is the bot connect(ed) to a botnet? When you do a netstat -a, is it listening on the right address and port?
