• Error: Node missing in nodelist

    From Mike Dippel@3:640/1116 to ALL on Sun Nov 14 09:43:40 2021
    I continue to have problems connecting from my system to the boss node using binkP.

    The HobbyNet network resides on hobbylinebbs.com My Synchronet system is on hobby-bbs.com

    When I try areafix to 954:895/1 from my system at 954:895/35 I get an error. It tries
    to connect to:
    f35.n895.z954.example.com:24554

    Where is the word example defined? It should be hobbylinebbs.com

    I tried going to binkp.net to enter and I get the error: Error: Node 954:895/35 missing
    in the nodelist.318 and there is no way for me to add it.

    I'm stumped.

    I continue to have problems connecting from my system to the boss node using binkP.

    I replied to previous requests for help 3 days ago with suggestions and follow-up questions. You never answered.

    In exec/load/fido.js

    It should be hobbylinebbs.com

    Isn't 954:895/35 *your* system's addrses? (I asked you this question previously and you did not answer). If that is *your* system's address, and your system is trying to connect to f35.n895.z954... do you see the problem? That domain name is clearly 954:895/35. So, you did something wrong.

    binkp.net is for FidoNet zones. Zone 954 is not a FidoNet zone, so you can't use binkp.net based address lookups. The problem here appears to be the FidoNet address anyway - you're trying to send or route to 954:895/35 instead of 954:895/1. Fix that problem first.

    The first thing listed in 'Linked Node' is the address. Is that MY node of 954:895/35

    For BinkP settings I am listing the host as: hobbylinebbs.com with a port of 24554

    This is obviously wrong since it is not working. Can you suggest what changes I have to make?

    No. *your* node address should not be listed in echocfg->Linked Nodes. I already asked you about this and clarified this for you multiple times. Are you not seeing my replies to your inquiries?

    First, I suggest you read my replies to your previously posted requests for help and answer my follow-up questions. I've been trying to help you but you're making it pretty difficult.

    Would I be better off doing it QWK like the Dove-Net feed?

    I wasn't looking for criticism for not knowing the first thing about how to set it up on the
    receiver side. I was hoping for someone to help me fill in the blanks and make it work.

    QWK is simpler than FTN.

    OK. Trying QWK, I copied the info for Dove into a new Net I call HOBBYBBS'
    I have all of the HobbyNet conferences set to connect to the corresponding conferemces
    on the hub.

    I created a user on the hub named hobbybbs with a fast login to the QWK/REP area.
    I created a security level on the hub that allows the user 'hobbybbs' to download a
    packet specific to his security level.

    My command line on the Synchronet BBS for the QWK Network Hub of hobbybbs is: *qnet-ftp %s hobbylinebbs.com Mypassword

    When I try the QNET poll from Synchronet, it scans the conference areas and creates
    the packet but gives the error:
    Download of HOBBYBBS.qwk failed: Error: Unable to connect

    Any suggestions? The security level I assigned for that user does accept FTP connections.

    Your uplinks (e.g. your hub) and downlinks would need to be listed in EchoCfg->Linked Nodes still. Unless you're giving up on FTN networking altogether.

    No. *your* node address should not be listed in echocfg->Linked Nodes. I already asked you about this and clarified this for you multiple times. Are you

    Okay, and isn't HOBBYBBS *your* BBS's QWK-ID? If your BBS is the hub, then you do not configure the network in SCFG->Networks->QWK. That is only for configuring a network where you are a node (not a hub).

    I created a user on the hub named hobbybbs with a fast login to the QWK/REP area.
    I created a security level on the hub that allows the user 'hobbybbs' to download a
    packet specific to his security level.

    If "hobbybbs" is your BBS, then you most definitely do *not* want a user on that BBS named 'hobbybbs'.

    My command line on the Synchronet BBS for the QWK Network Hub of hobbybbs is: *qnet-ftp %s hobbylinebbs.com Mypassword

    is hobbylinebbs.com your BBS? If so, this is wrong and you do not want to "call-out" to your own BBS.

    When I try the QNET poll from Synchronet, it scans the conference areas and creates
    the packet but gives the error:
    Download of HOBBYBBS.qwk failed: Error: Unable to connect

    Any suggestions? The security level I assigned for that user does accept FTP connections.

    I read through the documentation of configuring a hub. Thanks for that.

    The hub for HobbyNet is located at hobbylinebbs.com and the QWK packet is named HOBBY.QWK
    Looks like I just need the command line to connect from hobby-bbs.com to the boss node at hobbylinebbs.com

    The hub is a Winserver system. I looked in the c:\sbbs\exec directory for example scripts and couldn't find anything to suggest how to create a batch file for telnet. I don't have Telix, robocomm or Qmodem anyway.

    I just need the command line to connect the 2 systems.

    I would rather use FTN, but I thought you said the node for 954 (HobbyNet) is not Fido and couldn't be used.

    Sorry to be such a pain. I just need to learn this.

    The hub for HobbyNet is located at hobbylinebbs.com and the QWK packet is named HOBBY.QWK

    So HobbyNet is not *your* network, but someone else's? I can't keep your BBS names and hostnames straight here.

    Your BBS appears to be "HOBBYBBS" and the HobbyNet hub BBS is a someone else's BBS with a QWK-ID of "HOBBY"?

    Looks like I just need the command line to connect from hobby-bbs.com to the boss node at hobbylinebbs.com

    Does hobbylinebbs.com support QWK packet transfers via FTP?

    The hub is a Winserver system. I looked in the c:\sbbs\exec directory for example scripts and couldn't find anything to suggest how to create a batch file for telnet. I don't have Telix, robocomm or Qmodem anyway.

    If the Winserver system doesn't support QWK packet transfer via FTP, then you'll have to come up with some other means of automated packet transfer. What does the hub suggest you use?

    I just need the command line to connect the 2 systems.

    The hub sysop should be the expert on this matter... it is his network.

    I would rather use FTN, but I thought you said the node for 954 (HobbyNet) is not Fido and couldn't be used.

    I did not say zone 954 could not be used. FidoNet consists of only zones 1-6. Any other FTN zones are considered "othernets" are not part of FidoNet proper. The same tools (e.g. mailers, tossers) may be used for "othernets", but binkp.net DNS-based lookup only works for FidoNet proper.

    Sorry to be such a pain. I just need to learn this.

    If "it" is binkp.net DNS-based node address look-ups, no, it's not. Your downlinks have configured their systems correctly to connect to your hostname.

    I am able to connect but not send or

    I get the error that it received M_EOB but there are files pending M_GOT

    You likely can ignore that error.

    I think you can igore that log message.

    Your BBS appears to be "HOBBYBBS" and the HobbyNet hub BBS is a someone
    else's
    BBS with a QWK-ID of "HOBBY"?

    I want to forget QWK and do FTN


    I am testing your software on a home machine, running the downlink node 954:895/35
    So I am both the hub (/1) and the downlink (/35).
    The hub's QWK name is HOBBY.QWK

    But I would love to do it as an FTN connection, like 33 of my downlinks successfully do.
    They use their Mystic, WWIV and Synchronet systems to connect to my iREX hub
    to send and receive their packets.

    I just want to be able to do the same.

    You should be able to.


    The hub sysop should be the expert on this matter... it is his network.

    I know how to set it up on my setup so others can connect. I just have to
    learn how to
    do it as a downlink.

    We seem to be mixing up the discussion between QWK networking and FTN now.

    FTN only.


    I would rather use FTN, but I thought you said the node for 954 (HobbyNet)
    is not Fido and couldn't be used.

    I did not say zone 954 could not be used. FidoNet consists of only zones
    1-6.
    Any other FTN zones are considered "othernets" are not part of FidoNet proper.
    The same tools (e.g. mailers, tossers) may be used for "othernets", but
    binkp.net DNS-based lookup only works for FidoNet proper.

    Again, it works for my downlinks.

    If "it" is binkp.net DNS-based node address look-ups, no, it's not. Your downlinks have configured their systems correctly to connect to your hostname.

    I am able to connect but not send or
    receive packets.
    I get the error that it received M_EOB but there are files pending M_GOT

    You likely can ignore that error.

    My big stumbling block now is that when I send a areafix from 954:895/35 to the hub,
    areafix recognizes the system as 954:895/0 instead of 954:895/35 as I have it set up
    as. I don't ever receive replies to the areafix, just a notice that /0 is not configured.

    I understand. I think the next step would be to answer the question I asked you previuosly about those areafix message (i.e. how was it sent) and to check your sbbsecho.log file for the originating address details.

    I think I am getting closer now. The log file showed that the areas.bbs file did not exist.
    I created one (it's blank}. Once I did that I did another areafix and the echostats.ini file
    now shows all of the conferences. Unfortunately, The messages do not show up on the
    system in the conference areas.

    My areafix format via option N (send netmail) is:
    areafix@954:895/1

    PW in the subject line.

    and %+help in the message body. I also tried %+all and %rescan*
    but got no response.

    I assume the areas.bbs file has to contain some info. Not sure how to generate it
    though. I manually added all of the HNET conferences myself.

    Almost there?
    I feel a contribution to your site coming if we can get this going.

    Do you have 954:895/35 defined in:
    SCFG/Networks/FidoNet EchoMail and NetMail/System Addresses ?

    I created one (it's blank}. Once I did that I did another areafix and the echostats.ini file

    Creating a blank areas.bbs would not have an impact on whether echostats.ini was created or not.

    Unfortunately, The messages do not show
    up on the
    system in the conference areas.

    Did you create sub-boards for them in SCFG->Message Areas? Usually, you would then export that list to your areas.bbs file (using SCFG).

    My areafix format via option N (send netmail) is:
    areafix@954:895/1

    PW in the subject line.

    and %+help in the message body. I also tried %+all and %rescan*
    but got no response.

    When you send that netmail message, what FTN address does the BBS tell you that its sending *from*?

    I assume the areas.bbs file has to contain some info.

    It does not. You *can* run SBBSecho with no area file if you prefer, but only if you have no downlinks:
    https://wiki.synchro.net/util:sbbsecho#area_file

    Not sure how to generate it though.

    Documented on the wiki page I just pasted here.

    I manually added all of the HNET conferences myself.

    I hope you used the correct format (also documented on that page).

    Yes on both counts. But it may be incorrect. For Fidonet, Echomail and NetMail, I have
    both the fido address of 3:640/1116 and my address for this system of 954:895/35
    and the Choose Network Source Address set to YES

    Is this correct? I am not carrying a Fido feed yet here, just on my main system at

    If you're not carrying Fido yet, probably don't need that Fido address specified in there. Also, I kinda doubt you're in Zone 3 of Fido...

    I have "Choose Netmail Source Address" set to NO, but don't think that's
    the problem with your setup.

    No, it doesn't. I just manually copy a new one into that directory
    when I think of it and get around to it. ;-)

    Thanks for the reminder, I'll get it updated.
