    Hello Everyone.

    I have come across something peculiar. I'm using Version 3.19b.

    I have fido setup to use th default port of 24554 which works as intended.

    I have setup FSXnet (My hub is 21:1/100) which I have to use port 24556 (I was told that it uses BinkP Port of 24554 But that isn't accurate). I get a real strange error message.

    Now, FSXnet works fine using that port (24556) but if I send a Netmail to say (example only) 21:7/123 Binkp uses port 24554, and will not use port 24556 even though that is the port in my domain settings for FSXnet.

    How here is the strange part (at least for me).

    If I now poll my FSXnet Hub (21:1/100) it uses port 24554 even though in my FSXnet domain settings I have it set to 24556. I have shutdown the Synchronet BBS software, restarted my system, started it back up, and it is now still using port 24554 not 24556.

    If I go into my settings it still says port is bound to FSXnet 24556 but isn't using it.

    I don't know if I'm explaining this properly here. I'm sure I have confused everyone who has read this but I'm at a loss.

    Any help will be appreciated on how to fix this.

    Cheers, and take care everyone.

    What is the error message?

    There is no TCP port setting for an FTN domain (e.g. in echocfg->domains), so I'm not sure what you're saying. You can set a destination port for each linked node, but not for an entire zone or domain.

    How here is the strange part (at least for me).

    If I now poll my FSXnet Hub (21:1/100) it uses port 24554 even though in my FSXnet domain settings I have it set to 24556.

    Agaain, there is not such "domain setting", so double-check your understanding here. :-)

    I have shutdown the
    Synchronet BBS software, restarted my system, started it back up, and it is now still using port 24554 not 24556.

    If I go into my settings it still says port is bound to FSXnet 24556 but isn't using it.

    An entire network doesn't use a specific port, just one/each linked node.

    Additionally, ports are "bound" for listen (incoming) and that's entirely different than outbound ports.

    I don't know if I'm explaining this properly here. I'm sure I have confused everyone who has read this but I'm at a loss.

    Any help will be appreciated on how to fix this.

    If you're wanting every linked node in fsXnet (21:*) to use TCP port 24556, there is no setting to do that, nor does such a setting make any sense.

    When I do a poll BinkP uses port 24554 for Fido, and Port 24556 for FSXnet.

    Your most likely right. I am finding it bit confusing. I decided to start from scratch (installed a backup), and went through everything one step at a time, and it now works without me using any port other than the default.

    Thank You for the help. I hate asking for help, I prefer to figure things out on my own but I had to figure out what was going on.

    Cheers, and take care.

    What I mean when I say the default port is that is the port which is used for Fido or what is shown at teh time of installation of the network.

    I do find this all confusing, but after walking back, and reading more things are beginning to more clear.

    I reinstalled everything again after I read your reply, and it's now working on port 24554. Obviously I missed something on my original setup.

    Thanks for giving me a helping hand. Take care Charles.

    I still use the default port of 24554 for fido. I never had an
    issue with Fido, only with FSXnet.

    You're missing the point here. There is no "default port" for
    *FidoNet*, nor for *FSXNet*. The port definition is for a *HUB* or a *NODE* within a network. Not for the network itself.

    What I mean when I say the default port is that is the port
    which is used for Fido or what is shown at teh time of
    installation of the network.

    You don't appear to be listening. I'll say it again - THERE IS NO SUCH
    THING AS A "DEFAULT PORT" FOR *FIDONET*.

    The BinkP port you are referring to is *ONLY* defined for the hub/node
    that you are connecting to. That is ONE SINGLE SYSTEM, not an entire
    network.

    Read the Synchronet Wiki, and look at the examples/directions for the 'sbbsecho.ini' file. Also search for the word "echocfg".

    Did you do this???
