Dcc/ctcp problem

2004-12-06T14:09:32-04:00

when you /dcc CHAT someone (including an eggdrop bot), you relay to the other party your IP and listening port number; then they try to connect to your IP on that port; if you (your IRC client actually) supplied to them an incorrect IP (NAT problems, local misconfiguration, etc.) or/and port incapable of listening (firewall problems, etc.), they won't be able to connect to you, thus rendering DCC CHAT initiated by you impossible

when you /ctcp bot CHAT, this forces the bot to send a DCC CHAT request to you - just the opposite of the above scenario; if the bot is misconfigured (behind closed firewall, behind non-forwarding NAT, not listening on ports, etc.), you won't be able to connect to it ("Unable to connect", "DCC session closed")

so, if you insist on using /ctcp bot CHAT (as opposed to /dcc CHAT bot), examine carefully your bot's config and other local network-related configurations (firewall, NAT, etc.) you might have, and take appropriate measures to remedy the above mentioned problems

Unable to connect means it can't connect. Maybe something is going wrong with the ip stuff

so where could i find info on that ip stuff or how to fix it?

well i found out how to telnet the bot via putty program.
but still i cant control my bot via DCC Chat. when i enter command /ctcp bot chat, bot opens a new window, but i get such a message:
DCC Chat session
Client: bot (81.7.117.164)
Time: Mon Dec 06 18:21:08 2004
Acknowledging chat request...
Unable to connect
DCC session closed
what the reason could be here?
or maybe it is my mirc client problem?

You probably forget to set users port in config file. It should be something like this:
listen 9999 users or listen 9999 all
Of course 9999 port must be free and open for incoming connections from outside.

You can also try: /CTCP bot CHAT. In that case bot should ask you for chat, then you have to type your login and password.

When i input this command: /CTCP bot CHAT, i get a reply from the bot: [bot ERROR reply]: no telnet port.

What is the problem? Where should i enter that port? Could you explain me more about Telnet?
Thanks.

my eggdrop dont accept my dcc or ctcp chats
is there a way to make it respond on a query ?

Make sure that you have open port for telnet/dcc. If you have router and you run bot on your pc, telnet to your bot with using it's private/local ip...
