Another thing: Check if the server you and/or your bot is using allows dcc or ctcp protocoles. I've seen networks that set modes when user connects so to prevent any ctcp or dcc traffic.

You can see your modes by issuing

/mode yournick

Lame modes i've encountered were +e +p +R (Do not confuse +e with IRCnet's exemptions)

Well, as I said, on the firewall at your side, open the port you specified at "listen all" in the botconfig and forward it to the computer the bot is on.
In some irc clients you can also set up the portrange for dcc, of course these ports have to be opened at the firewall and forwarded to the computer with the irc client running on (I assume your firewall does NAT).
And as I said before, long time ago, when I started messing around with eggies, I had one running on the same box I used to have my irc client on. I think I never got it to establish a dcc connection. I always used telnet.

Yes, I telnet localhost 3333.

If I /ctcp the bot, I get the invitation to DCC Chat with him, I accept and the connection times out

If there's a firewall in use, on your sider, your users side or both, than open the port you specified in "listen all" and make a forwarding to the machine your bot is on. If your users use a firewall, they need to do the same for the port(s) they set up in their irc clients for DCC.
Can you /ctcp or telnet the bot ?

is there any specific ports to open on the firewall to enable DCC?

Typing the password is simply not enough.

Unless the bot asks for the password, there is no connection for this password to go accross.

Eggdrop will say that no password has been received. This is because it hasn't, allthough, no connection has been made either.

Some things to make sure that everything is working.

Try making sure the value of my-ip is correct.

When you do "/dcc chat eggdrop". The eggdrop will attempt to connect to your client (or rather, the client that started the chat). If a router or firewall is preventing the connection, then it's up to the user to fix.

However, this can be due top a firewall near the bot, preventing the outgoing connection to the user. You should chekc this as well.

I take it that you've tried typing /CTCP CHAT ???

This makes the bot start a DCC chat with you - often easier than DCC chatting, especially with firewalling.
