Hello All!

I can get the hub to poll my bbs now, but my bbs still cant poll the hub, so I started my original setup backup and realized that the bbs still cant poll hub I must have never noticed. Here is what it looks like for a poll from bbs to hub,

bp 1:105/81
1:105/81
.
01:58 [1297] BEGIN, binkd/1.1a-112/Linux -p -P 1:105/81 /home/pi/fido/etc/binkd.cfg

01:58 [1297] clientmgr started
$ od 1:105/81@fidonet (hold until 2023/01/03 02:01:18)
01:58 [1297] the queue is empty, quitting...

then ...

bp 1:105/81
1:105/81
.
02:01 [1320] BEGIN, binkd/1.1a-112/Linux -p -P 1:105/81 /home/pi/fido/etc/binkd.cfg

02:01 [1320] clientmgr started

02:01 [1320] rc(1321)=0
02:01 [1320] the queue is empty, quitting...

I'm seeing the same thing, when I try to poll him.

So the problem resides at your hub, not on your system.

Hi Rick!

03 Jan 2023 01:59, from Rick Smith -> All:

02:01 [1321] connection to 1:105/81@fidonet failed: Connection
refused

The other side refuses your connection attempt.
Either his firewall blocks you, or nothing is listening on the binkp
port, or ...

Check with the guy on the other side.
It seems to be his problem, not yours.

I am the other guy, I run that hub its here on my network... Well so if its the hub ill start looking there.

Hi Rick!

Well that makes it very easy ;)
Check the firewall logs, check that you can ping that host.
Check that binkd is running and listening on the port that you think it should. Start up tcpdump and check what packets are exchanged.

If both are behind the same NAT router, and you are using the EXTERNAL address it could be missing NAT loopback.
In that case you can change the config to use internal addresses when trying to reach the other host.

CU, Ricsi
