Hi to all of you good people. I changed provider AP, and now the my IP is different, so my hostmask changed on IRC. Now I cannot connect to my bot anymore, he don`t want to accept DCC chat... How to 'tell' him to not use hostmask, i mean i want to chat with him anytime, just don`t want to have hostmask recognition, like Eggie!*@* How to do that? Thank you

Try using the "ident" command on the eggdrop. More help on how to use it, read this: http://www.egghelp.org/commands/irc.htm#msg_ident

If this won't work, you will have to try telnet. Telnet via the shell to localhost and the listening port of the eggdrop. Input username and password of the bot.

This should work.

try to telnet and then adding your hostmask...

/msg <BOT> ident <mylamepassword> <my nickname>
-> works even if u dont have access via telnet or even if u cant set:
.+host [email protected]

I think i already posted this

patyline for bota
.+host Eggie*!*@*

Yeah you can tellnet to your eggdrop, if irc network wich are you on uses an bahamut version with nickserv. Than suggess to add you hostmask Nick!*@*. you can do that by:
.+host <handle> [hostmask]
i.e. .+host thebeast TheBeast!*@*
