DCC session closed in ctcp chat or DCC chat session timeout

[Arnold_X-P]

maybe this has happened to many of those who try to use the latest version of eggdrop

DCC Chat session
-
Client: Botname (10.154.0.2)
Time: Thu Jul 23 14:19:29 2020
-
Acknowledging chat request...
-
Unable to connect
-
DCC session closed

the detail is in the .conf I leave a little guide on how to fix it

this solution for eggdrop 1.6.21 in eggdrop.conf
set my-hostname "n.cafechat.org"
set my-ip "192.157.193.103"
listen 1357 users
set protect-telnet 0

this solution for eggdrop 1.8.0 in eggdrop.conf
in eggdrop 1.8.4 to use said vhost and ip I would configure it like this;
set my-hostname "ca2.shell.xshellz.com"
set my-ip "198.245.62.27"
these two settings marked with red in the last version were replaced by set vhost4 & set listen-addr

set vhost4 "n.cafechat.org"
set listen-addr "192.157.193.103"
listen 1357 users
set protect-telnet 0

I will leave here an example of how to use the different types of connections for irc servers

## Connection for IPv4 ##
set servers {
fidelity.dal.net:6667
agility.dal.net:6667
irc.dal.net:6667
ix.dal.net:6667
}

## Connection for IPv4 + SSL ##
set servers {
irc.dal.net:+6697
ix.dal.net:+6697
}

## Connection for IPv6 when my ip supports ipv6 without SSL ##
set servers {
fidelity-v6.dal.net:6667
agility-v6.dal.net:6667
ipv6.dal.net:6667
}

## Connection for IPv6 + SSL ##
set servers {
fidelity-v6.dal.net:+6697
agility-v6.dal.net:+6697
ipv6.dal.net:+6697
}

I hope this little help solves the ctcp chat via mirc connection problem

Yes, that is a good guide Arnold_X-P

Sometimes also you can try editing this part of the config, this can fix firewall problems

Code: Select all

set nat-ip "127.0.0.1"

replace 127.0.0.1 with the box/server/shell ip address

[Arnold_X-P]

yes... ComputerTech
yes thank you for the data that set I do not need to mention
this solution FINAL for eggdrop 1.8.0 in eggdrop.conf
in eggdrop 1.8.4 to use said vhost and ip I would configure it like this;
