off-topic: ircII and dcc

[Igor Gueths]

Hi all. Just a couple of days ago I noticed that whenever I would do /dcc
send nick filename, it would say "dcc send 0.0.0.0 request to nick."
However people can dcc send to me just fine and I respond with /dcc get
nick. Anyone know why /dcc send isn't sending the correct ip address? I
looked through /etc/irc/script/local and no mention in there of dcc. The
server isn't the problem, bc it is caching my hostname. I also tried
turning on ident2 and that didn't fix it either. And Ican't seem to find
an answer in man irc. My machine is also dmzed so there is no firewall to
speak of at this moment. Does anyone know where I am mis-configured?
Thanks!

Oh it had been so long since I IRC with an UNIX client, and I haven't 
gotten around to finish configurating my linux client yet...

If I recall correctly, in the olden days we all have an .ircrc file and 
that's where you personalize your settings (the command bar, your 
environment variables, aliases and shortcut keys, operator password, 
etc)  I doubt I can find the old one I had from back then (the server had 
been retired) but that's where I will start.

Afterall dcc was a fairly recent thing (about 10 years?) and I don't 
remember it having much problems, though I usually use it to keep a 
connection between friends so we don't have to keep typing /msg nick 
message blah blah blah...

Sorry I know this is not much help, just my 2 pence.

Hi there. I switched to epic4 and apparently that fixed the problem. Thx!
