Re: Telnet in problem
By: Ric743256 to All on Tue Jan 19 2021 07:25 am
So I'm getting pinged ok it looks like, but am unable to get into my system with telnet. I've opened the telnet port on my router and windows 10, but no luck. Does anyone have any ideas why I'm having this problem?
$ host filecabi.synchro.net
filecabi.synchro.net has address 73.242.87.217
$ nmap filecabi.synchro.net
Starting Nmap 7.70 (
https://nmap.org ) at 2021-01-19 10:07 PST
Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -Pn
Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 3.18 seconds
Is 73.242.87.217 your correct public IP address?
"opening" a port may not be enough, you may need to actually "forward" the port to the internal/private IP address of your BBS computer.
Your current QWKnet tagline has a private IP address listed (which nobody outside of your network can reach):
þ Synchronet þ File Cabinet BBS - 192.168.0.246
So you should fix that too.
