Hello all,

Not sure if this is enough information to get some direction on my Fido setup issue i am having. This is what I see when I try to send areafix netmail.

That hostname seems to resolve for me:
$ host f59.n3634.z1.binkp.net
f59.n3634.z1.binkp.net is an alias for microbur.synchro.net. microbur.synchro.net has address 108.233.175.10

But... it's resolving to *your* BBS? You're trying to send an areafix netmail to yourself?

There have been issues lately with the binkp.net resolving fidonet-style addresses to an IP address.

You can avoid that by defining the location of a nodelist file on your
BBS machine, in the [domain] section for Fidonet, in your sbbsecho.ini
file.

It's documented here: https://wiki.synchro.net/config:sbbsecho.ini#domain_sections

That way, the calling system can just use the normal domain name for the called system as defined by the "INA:" part of the nodelist entry.

You can avoid that by defining the location of a nodelist file on your
BBS machine, in the [domain] section for Fidonet, in your sbbsecho.ini
file.

I did update to point to the nodelist file. I am not getting the error any more, but I never get a response.

Well, the answer to that probably lies in your log(s). On my system,
which may not be configured the same as yours, it's in 'sbbs.log'. It
is VERY likely to be a password mismatch between you and your FidoNet
hub. Check the log and see what it says when you try to send the
Areafix netmail. If it is indeed a password issue you'll have to work
that out with your uplink (hub).

The binkit log info you posted didn't show any mail coming into, or
leaving, your system.

Now that you have binkit sorted you may need to send the message(s) again.

I have been working with my uplink, and still having the issues. My passwords are correct but seems that my NetMail is not being packed and is being sent out as .out files?

I have been over my setup 100 times, hope to figure it out soon. I need to step away from it for a few hours (days), lol.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get a response from a hub for Fidonet?

I've sent out a message to RC and within 24 hours I got back a reply.

I sent out a request to who the RC said should be my hub, but I get nothing back. So part of me wonders if I'm having a problem sending to the hub.

The thing without a response makes it hard to know.

And the message is gone, it can't be found.

As far as I know I can't get a message back from the hub using fidonet type addressing because I don't have a password for the hub.

And I see in the log file bink pulls error about authentication, which makes sense to me.

So I'm not sure if I have done things correctly. I think so because the RC got back to me vai regualar email.

No the RC sent me over to the NC at 105.

I think he did that because I'm in Island County WA, seems like the area outside of the cofirmned cities ont he page:

I'm not sure though becuase it looks like 105 is in Oregon state.

Okay, so looks like you'd go into Region 17, Net 138.

Here are the RC and NC lines from the current nodelist for them:

Region,17,North_West,AB_AK_BC_ID_MT_OR_NWT_SK_WA_YT,Dallas_Hinton,-Unpublished-,300,CM,MO,INA:bandmaster.ddnsfree.com,IBN

Host,138,Rainer_Net,Pierce_County+_WA,Gene_Buckle,-Unpublished-,300,CM,XX,IBN:bbs.retroarchive.org,IFT,ITN

So I'd suggest trying a netmail to Gene Buckle there, or perhaps log in
to that BBS and leave him a local message or something. Good luck.

when i got a fidonet setup there was an issue with the hub and he refused to talk via internet email and he would only call ME during the day when i was at work. i could not call him or schedule a time. on top of that he was mostly deaf and couldn't hear shit over the phone. he's not with us now

i had to go with someone else. i wouldn't even carry fidonet. it's not worth it.

So I'm not sure if I have done things correctly. I think so because the RC got >back to me vai regualar email.

Sounds like you need to ask your RC, via email, if the hub operator has an email address you can contact him with first.

when i got a fidonet setup there was an issue with the hub and he
refused to talk via internet email and he would only call ME during the day when i was at work. i could not call him or schedule a time. on top
of that he was mostly deaf and couldn't hear shit over the phone. he's not with us now

i had to go with someone else. i wouldn't even carry fidonet. it's not worth it.

There are assholes everywhere, including in FidoNet.

Doesn't mean everyone in FidoNet is an asshole, or that it has no value.

If BBSING also runs into similar issues, he may also need to try someone
else.

Hi bbsing,

On 2024-11-27 00:45:29, you wrote to Grease:

NC for 1:138 system has my IP on a blacklist, connections from my IP address are being rejected/blocked.

That is unfortunate. If that situation remains, you schould try and get it resolved, maybe by contacting the RC.
Btw: I can connect just fine to this system.

I think what was happening is my firewall was blocking connections based on some info in the packets based on a definition auto downloaded.


Now there were some other issues where messages aren't going out to the rest of the nodes, and not receiving from RC/NC.

NC for 1:105 system bink port doesn't appear to be on. Might be a push only system.

A host system can't be Pvt/"Push only". Hopefully it's a temporary problem, if not it's a matter for the RC to resolve.
Btw: A moment ago I could connect just fine to this system. So it probably was a temporary problem

The RC helped me out and I think my system is working.

Wilfred, thanks for response and helping with my understanding.

Digitalman also helped me out as well with config adjustments on my system.
