    See netmail just sent. but here is the response :

    Your system is marked as on Pause when I could not poll yours.
    That has not changed as per poll I just tried :

    You are polling the wrong port, node 1:261/100 lists the correct port, IBN:24555, not the standard binkd port. I can see that I should have my NC

    Sounds like a good ide as my query for your system show :

    1. The nodelist is showing that 1:261/38 accepts BinkP on the standard port (24554).
    2. I get "Connection refused" from both ports (24554 & 24555).

    This situation has been ongoing for months. If your system indeed only accepts connections on 24555, the nodelist entry needs to be corrected ASAP. In any case, it seems you need to check your firewall, as several people (myself, Vince, and Wilfred to name a few examples) cannot connect to your system.

    1. The nodelist is showing that 1:261/38 accepts BinkP on the standard port (24554).

    That's correct. There is a standalone BinkD server/client on 24554, the standard BinkD port. If you have not been instructed by me to pick up traffic at filegate.net:24554, there will be no traffic there for "you". I only use that port for some people.

    There is a problem, yes. I will get to it as soon as I can. Meanwhile, as I believe I've mentioned, those that pick up here do connect to those ports.

    Sorry for inconveniences I may have caused.

    Of course they can, a number of folks have. I was simply mentioning the obvious... If I did not tell a node to pick up their traffic at my 24554 binkp port, then there will be no traffic there. It DOESN'T mean no one can CONNECT there :) :) Most people connect with my bbbs port, 24555.

    2. I get "Connection refused" from both ports (24554 & 24555)

    You are being a bit silly, IMO, Andrew. As I've said, anyone can connect there. This month has been especially nasty _weatherwise_, though, and for example my Internet connection was DEAD for almost a week. No one can help that.. That was caused by my ISP being down, Point Broadband (right now we are connecting fine however. As 'they' say, S___ happens :) )

    I would appreciate it if you would respond to the multiple emails I've sent you regarding this.

    You are probably sending email to my OLD email address which was janis@filegate.net. I _closed_ that account quite a _long time ago_, and have posted my new one here in fidonet! My new email address is jmklou@gmail.com. Dallas Hinton knows this email address, several others do. Sorry you did not seem to know about it.

    So... please change my email address to jmklou@gmail.com.

    Time to make dinner....

    Thank you for testing this, Wilfred. I will try to find these connection attempts in my log, perhaps I will see what the problem is.

    An immediate "Connection refused" response, points to a firewall/router not configured the right way. So either the firewall on your fido machine or the one in your router/"modem".

    It is strange that some people have no problem, however.

    I find it doubtfull, or you have configured only some IPs (or ranges) that you allow in your firewall, but you should know about that.
    So who are those nodes? I like to see their logs...


    Bye, Wilfred.

    Hi Andrew,

    Try again, Janis... Do you really want me to post the emails that I sent to your gmail.com address, which have received ZERO responses?

    So... please change my email address to jmklou@gmail.com.

    I haven't used the filegate.net address in quite a while.

    I will indeed look again...

    Take care,
    Janis
