you will also need to set reserved-portrange and forward that port(s)

otherwise zeph opens random listening ports for userfile transfer and your router doesn't forward them

you need to set nat-ip in zeph's config to your router's external IP (and have appropriate port forwarding)

Further investigation has determined it is a NAT/port forwarding issue, zeph's listen ports are 3333/3333, what ports need to be opened up to allow the userfile transfer? I am very limited in my router when it comes to port forwarding, so it can only be one port

could this be a problem with router and port forwarding? the two bots that will link together are on the same machine. zeph is on a different machine on the internets and behind a router.

Also my eggdrop.conf is very small, only the needed settings were used.

I have 3 eggs v 1.6.6. the first one is named zeph, the other two are Ooglaa, and lawofone.

Ooglaa, and lawofone were directory copies of zeph, i just edited eggdrop.conf to make them who they are

ooglaa, and lawofone have no problem whatsoever sharing userfiles with each other. However for some reason, no matter what i do, zeph cannot share files at all.

here is the error it gives, ooglaa being aggressive, zeph being passive., zeph flagged as +s on ooglaa, and ooglaa flagged as +p on zeph.:

Ooglaa:
*** Linked to zeph
*** (zeph) New Bot (Eggdrop v1.6.6, TCL v8.3.4) Uptime Record! 15 minutes 47 seconds.
[19:36] Creating resync buffer for zeph
[19:36] Sending user file send request to zeph
[19:41] Timeout on userfile transfer.

zeph:
[19:47] Challenging ooglaa...
[19:47] Linked to ooglaa.
*** Linked to ooglaa
[19:47] Downloading user file from ooglaa
[19:47] (!) Could not find bot responsible for sending us the userfile for which the transfer failed.
[19:47] Failed connection; aborted userfile transfer.

I tried restarting zeph as eggdrop -m to start over with a new user file
did nothing. I'm thinking its something to do with configuration some where, possibly eggdrop.conf?

ooglaa and lawofone will sahre userfiles with each other no problems, and their directories were copied from zeph. they are all the same version

anyone have any ideas? I'd really like to get this issue resolved.
