Hello All

This one's got me puzzled and would appreciate any ideas.

Every time a FASTECHO PACK -RROUTE.FE is performed I get the following netmail;

-!-

during runtime, "--- Digital Dilemma" is also displayed.

Route.fe is below.

Hello Simon!

This one's got me puzzled and would appreciate any ideas.

[..]

I'm not too sure, as I don't use FE to route/pack netmail but here's a coupla things that I've spotted that *might* be the cause .....

Route.fe is below.

-!-
; FidoNet

[..]

ROUTE-TO 2:2503/0 2:2503/*

^^^^^^^^
Perhaps this should be 2:2503/*.*

[..]

ROUTE-TO 2:252/666 2:440/666.* 2:440/666

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Perhaps these two are telling FE to do
the same thing and therefore causing
confusion?
[..]

Ideas?

That's all I can think of.

Regards,
Martin

ROUTE-TO 2:2503/0 2:2503/*

^^^^^^^^
Perhaps this should be 2:2503/*.*

* is ok, ? can also be used, ex.: Route-to 2:335/533 2:33/* 2:33?/*

ROUTE-TO 2:252/666 2:440/666.* 2:440/666

Yes, it's redundant... but I don't know what is wrong with the route.

I use fe pack for email/ftp-links (not for those that calls directly):

Route-to 1:396/1 1:* 2:* 5:* 6:*
Route-to 2:244/1111 2:24/* 2:24?/* 2:24??/*
Route-to 2:335/533 2:33/* 2:33?/*
Route-to 2:333/805 2:333/*
Route-to 2:346/3 2:34/* 2:34?/*
Route-to 3:774/605 3:*
Route-to 4:900/525 4:*
Except 4:4/3 4:80/* 4:80?/*
No-route 4:901/343
Route-to 4:930/1 4:93/* 4:93?/*
Route-to 12:1251/1 12:1251/1.* 4:805/4.*

Hi! Simon,

Every time a FASTECHO PACK -RROUTE.FE is performed I get the
following netmail;

I'm no great routing king, but if it were me suffering... then I'd make sure that all the ROUTE-TO _target_ addresses exist in the FE node manager.

Else, try commenting-out the "NO-ROUTE LISTED" and see what happens. (It seems
to want to negate the effect of the previous ROUTE-TOs.<shrug>)

Cheers,
Paul.

Thanks for the reply, fixed it now.

The one that bugs me is that I'm a FrontDoor user, but every so often, Fastecho
will create a packet netmail in my outbound with an extension like *.IUT. This
happens once about every full moon, with no apparent rhyme or reason.
