  • Weird routing

    From poindexter FORTRAN@1:103/705 to All on Thursday, January 01, 2026 09:39:26
    So, I signed up for the "new" araknet. I'd taken my old config out some
    time ago.

    I added my node number in SCFG-> networks.
    I created a linked nodes entry in echocfg for the uplink, 10:100/0.
    There isn't a new nodelist yet, so I added the source address and port
    to the Binkp settings for the host.

    I can poll OK.

    When I create an areafix, it looks like the netmail is being rerouted to
    me at /57:

    2025-12-28 17:20:39 c:\sbbs\binkit\netmail\3.msg Kurt Weiske (10:100/57)
    To: Areafix (10:100/57) Attr: 0183 (PRIVATE, CRASH, KILLSENT, LOCAL)
    Created locally

    Did I miss something?

    If it was a "routing" issue, you'd see sbbsecho.log entries about routing, e.g. 11/12/25 08:26:57 Routing NetMail (2.msg) to 1:218/700

    Do you see log messages like that?

    if you're talking about araknet i thought they were taking it down
    from lack of activity. they were talking about that a month or so ago.

    Not sure, i don't keep track of that stuff nor do i call bbses often.

    it's all the same people as any where else pretty much. i'm not a fan of fishbowl communities in bbsing;i think the more people the better.
    Especially when we have little or no users.

    ARAKnet is invitation only, and going through changes right now. I'd
    hold off.
