is there a setting in the .conf file which lets your dcc session not die out after a minute or two?

What do you have set in your conf file in the DCC/TELNET section? What do you have set here...?:

Code:

# This settings defines a time in seconds that the bot should wait before# a dcc chat, telnet, or relay connection times out.set connect-timeout 15

Those port ranges are rather low you should really set them higher at least 5000+

Missed something did we?

You were told to use a range 5000 and over.

i'd still like to know what ports you guys would be recommending for port forwarding? 2010-2020 is said to be not as secure, so let me know which ones im better off with please, thanks.

May i ask what you have setup on your firewall? Whats a good range to have that would be more secure.

when you forward ports on your firewall, are you doing all local address? like your destination address and source address? or external internet IP address?

so what do you suggest i do?
i haven't tried getting any files but i just assumed /dcc includes file transfers and chats, no?
now with port forwarding (my firewall is a nightmare! its a d-link DI704P router + firewall).
can you tell me how that works?
what do i forward, how do i go about it? it's a little confusing.

set reserved-portrange 2010:2020

Those port ranges are rather low you should really set them higher at least 5000+ for security reason more than anything. If someone is port scanning your machine then they will find those ports extremely quickly so the higher the better in my opinion also yes i would say it is most likley your firewall. something could be tripping over those ports and disconnecting you. Also is your bot sending you files as that setting is just for the file transfer side not the actual dcc chat side?

I never set those portranges on my bot just the listen port. In mirc i then setup 10 ports for dcc functions and allow those 10 ports through my firewall and also through my router using portforwarding and have never had any probems to date.

Try the things i have suggested and see if they help at all

yeah i tried changing the port configurations around.
this is what i have.

# If you want all dcc file transfers to use a particular portrange either
# because you're behind a firewall, or for other security reasons, set it
# here.
set reserved-portrange 2010:2020

and also

# If you wish to use only one port, use this format:
#
listen 10000 all

then on my mirc (windows machine which im trying to access the bot from) has the dcc port range 2010 and 2020, but someone told me my firewall might be causing the problem, and my firewall is a nuisance to configure also, do you think it could be that?

try changing the port its listening on it may be conflicting with someone elses bot if its on a shared machine
