I have had this problem for several years, and have no idea what is going on.
While I can connect to other nodes via Internet Rex, they can NOT connect to my system.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
While I can connect to other nodes via Internet Rex, they can NOT
connect to my system.
So... I suspect that the connection problem isn't related to Irex

Is it possible your provider is blocking the port (Telus does that here)? D DH>you have the standard Irex port set (24554)?
Bill McGarrity suggested I try BinkP, but I had several questions on it. However, I won't rehash them here.
Suffice it to say, if switching to BinkP doesn't work, then Comcast is apparently blocking the incoming ports. I already have to use a different po
for email.
It is possible...and I do have the Standard IREX port set in therouter.
I have Comcast and use binkp on port 24554. I doubt Comcast would
block that port even on the residential service (I have the starter business package here).

Are you using your own router or the one built into the cable modem (if RW>you have that kind of modem).

I have the LinkSys WRT54G router...but I also have an Xfinity cable modem/router...but it's set up in bridge mode. Several applications
would not work otherwise.

please tell me/us that you are (ab)using that WRT54G
as a switch instead of as a router... that's assuming
(yeah yeah yeah) that it is behind the xfinity
router...
when there's a router on the perimeter, there's no
need for any routers behind it unless there are
multiple networks with different IP ranges on the
inside...

Absolutely confirmed here. Cable Modem goes next to a SWITCH. From there t
goes line to line to other hard switches OR to OTHER ROUTERS. The WRT54G is
one of such behind the cable modem via switch that handles it all back and forth to the cable IP provider.

What brand/model is the the Xfinity router? Some of them are very unreliable in bridge mode. When we upgraded here,
they first gave use a Cisco DPC device which never
worked properly in bridge mode. After several hours
dealing with their inept customer support, they agreed
to exchange it for an Arris TM722G which has worked
flawlessly ever since I set it up.

I don't know their (Comcast) current behavior. But I recall having their JS>service
some years back and found that they did indeed block certain ports.
Interestingly, the switch that was behind the then cable modem
originally worked fine - SOME TIMES - but locked up everything lots of
the time as well here. After lots of research, my at then SMC
Networks switch simply would not handle their new format for this and that.
I have the DFW1900 but I refuse to pay $5/month for their piece of shit mode BM>so I went and purchased a Surfboard SB6141 modem locally. Zero issues with BM>either.... and it aid for itself in 16 months.

It's an ARIS TG862G/CT.
It works fine in bridge mode, and I can connect to other systems
with IREX and BinkP, but they can NOT connect to my system.
I also have a LinkSys 8 port Ethernet Switch to go with the LinkSys WRT54G router, since I have more devices on the LAN than ports on the router.
In using a utility from portforward.com, it shows the port is open
in the router...but canyouseeme.org can't see it (the request times
out). So, I'm guessing they are blocking the port.

I can poll other systems just fine with IREX, but they can't connect
to me...and that's the rub.
Hello Daryl!

OK. I've never had any problems with Arris devices.
Also check to make sure that TCP port 23 (Telnet) is forwarded so that your AL>users can get to the BBS.
Are you sure that your port forward in the router is setup to forward to the AL>correct LAN IP for your BBS machine?

Yep...I check that before I go into the router. Sometimes, after I've
had the systems off for thunderstorms, in bringing them back up, the 192.168.1.# address changes. So, I check that first, then make the
changes in the router.
iRex inThen iRex is not binding the port properly. Are you running
it bind-daemon mode? double check the BinkP config as well :)
Or the IP address that you have IREX binding to is incorrect. To RW>BR> RW> resolve that issue, I always have it bind to 0.0.0.0 so that
to all interfaces and not to just one.
Interesting point.
"dirtyDude, tell HIM that, not me lol
Hey, all I did what hit REPLY, entered my response, then hit the SEND RW>button :) I suppose as long as he gets the message, huh? :D
Reminds me of the cartoon where the sheriff's office found a pair of

that's what i was asking about... if the address for your bbs box changes... ML>apparently it can... that's why i mentioned that you should run it as static

Well, I am going through DuoCirle (formerly DYNDNS), so I have a
dynamic IP address.
As long as the BBS is online (no threat of thunderstorms, and both the power and internet are on), going to wx1der.dyndns.org will get them
to the BBS.
