Strange bot name + inability to dcc chat

Check the Console (telnet direct to the bot and log in or check the logs or start the bot in interactive mode) my bet is that somebody registered the nick to piss you off and services is changing it.

as for your chat issues the problem IS your set my-hostname line. Set it properly (it should not be localhost) or set the my-ip directive. You bot is confused as to where to tell your client to connect.

set my-hostname "localhost"

why are you running your bot on localhost?
this should be your outside hostname.. or better yet comment it and use set my-ip
as for your odd nickname your bot grabs.. ya probably a script like barkerjr said.. no clue.. buts its unrelated to your dcc chat woes i believe

I'm going to guess that it's a script issue. What script are you running? Try not running them and see if that helps.

My bot can load and appears on IRC okay, but with strange names like 'iph892296' or previously 'iph262440' instead of its usual 'ifred'. It logs on through undernet to hide its 'host' (if thats the right expression?). Why does it get renamed, and how can I prevent this please?

I am totally unable to gain control of my bot, although it is using a Userfile from a previous incarnation. I am using x-chat 2.0.5 on Red Hat 9, and can't dcc chat it, not establish a telnet connection. Please, how do I get connected with it?

These are 2 kines from the conf file that may be relevant.
set my-hostname "localhost"

#set my-ip "62.64.132.251"
The seti my-ip is commented out because it started complaining about a wrong variable and being unable to load the conf file
