192.168.0.3 is - if I am not mistaken - a private IP address, i.e. the
one you have on your LAN, and you can not connect to a privat LAN
address from the internet.

You have to instruct XChat to ask the IRC server for your "internet"
IP number, once you have logged in, and use that address for DCC. You
find this switch under "settings - settings - IRC - IP address" (or
whatever the english menu names are... 4th menu).
