[03:51] -mhm- Failed to connect (Connection refused)

The you will need to look at exactly what was changed between it wokring, and when it stopped.

"/dcc chat " and "/ctcp chat" are allmost the same.

The only differances are

1: You also need to type the useranme on one of them

2: Telnet codes are sent to you. These can be fixed using ".fixcodes".

If you can tell me any serious differances that require that you have to use "/dcc chat", these would be looked into.

But the fact remains, DCC connections have limitations in NAT environments, and command shave been created to get around it.

firstly thanks for the help...

well i don't have any kind of firewall
that could block the DCC it must be something else

as i said "/ctcp chat" works perfectly but this is a sort of telnet
(such as a telnet connection to the bot @ port 3333)

i want to be able to initiate DCC chat with the bot via the "/dcc chat "
command

P.S. in addition earlier that day i was able to use this command ("/dcc chat ")

When you send a DCC chat to sombody, it is that person that makes the network connection to you, and not you to them.

As such, are you running any sort of firewall ont eh machine that would block this connection?

Other wse use "/ctcp chat" replacing as needed. These commands are there to get around the very limitations DCC induces.
