  • My BBS suddenly won't connect to FSXnet

    24 hours ago my Synchronet BBS v 3.19b stopped connecting to FSXnet. I have made no changes to SBBS. I rebooted the computer and it still will not connect to FSXnet. This is my log report.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I answered this in SYNCHRONET. No need to freak out every time one system is down. Most likely the binkp.net service was down for a day or something.

    You can easily bypass this third party connection method by making direct links with the systems you're trying to connect to. By that, I mean polling them directly with /their/ address, and not using the binkp.net service.

    Then, when the connection isn't being made, it's only between you and the other system.

    Regards,
    Nick

    ... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
