    But the node 2:221/1 is listed in the nodelist. What am I missing? How can I check if binkd can access and is processing the correct nodelist?

    Then there is your reason, it doesn't know how to contact that node,
    so it can't try.

    What is the content of that .try file?

    Please don't top post! ;-)


    Bye, Wilfred.

    Hi Javier,

    can I check if binkd can access and is processing the correct
    nodelist?

    Binkd can't use the nodelist directly.

    There is a perl script that can do it, configured like this:

    #
    # Perl hooks file (if built with Perl)
    #
    #perl-hooks ~/ftn/binkd/nodelist.pl

    Or you can "compile" the nodelist to a format that binkd can use. I'm using this php script: http://ambrosia60.ddnss.org/53f8ee03/drv_q/div27/i-util/bnlphp14.zip

    And include the compiled file into your binkd.config.

    Or you can depend on the service by binkp.net which provides a dns service for node lookups, configured like this:

    #
    # Overrides root domain for DNS lookups, see 'node' below.
    #
    root-domain binkp.net


    Bye, Wilfred.
