    Greetings All!

    I added sportnet to SBBS pretty simple and straight forward, I am able to manually poll with sportnet and send and receive both echo and netmail... I was running journal and noticed that on timed events I get this ..

    Only when timed events run, other wise I connect just fine?

    ot sure it was the "correct" way to fix it but it worked... I had to add the following to sbbsecho.ini along with#
    the hub entry so I actually have two entries for sportnet this one and the one that you would expect. #

    The "example.com" in the error message definitely is a clue. It looks to me like you didn't have a BinkpHost value set for the uplink (in sbbsecho.ini), so binkit was trying to use DNS-based FTN->IP lookup.

    Yeah thats what I had thought too, but it was correct. SBBS would send echomail and netmail to the hub without issue, that error only occurred while sending netmail to anyone other than the hub in zone 24, I had direct shutoff.

    Yes I am enjoying it, there are a lot of very helpful sysops there and good discussion.
