hello ppl im quite new in TCL but i was told that a TCL script could help me whit my problem...

well here goes..

i have a windrop bot running on Quakenet, snd the problem is that my friend cant ues the partyline, so i was told that it was because i was behind a firewall/NAT or something, so i need a script that resolves the IP of my comp and replaiset it with the one in the conf file once every hour and then rehashes the bot or something like that....

ore are there any of you ppl that have a better solution for my problem??

i hope that you will help me..

um...

why would you need to replace your IP every half hour? Does it change that often? I reckon you are barking up entirely the wrong tree.

I suspect that a brief view of your setup would reveal the problem to be with the setting of My-ip or NAt -IP.

It would be impossible to create a Tcl that would do this.

This is simply becuase, eggdrop will bidn to the IP at startup, and not to the new one as it is changed.

Only if you kill and totaly restart the bot will this occur as you want it.

As photon sugests, it is likely more to do with your setup, than with eggdrop.

First off, make sure you sue the correct nat-ip and my-ip settings.

Second, have you made sure that your NAT router has port forwarding enabled, and the port your bot listens to is forwarded.

The ones you pick.

See your "listen" lin in the config file.
