Hello Nodelist,

On Sunday May 30 2021 11:40, you wrote to me:

 MvdV>> Hij was active as a point before and PINGed already as a point.

 NC> That doesn't automatically mean his new node would also PING. Hence
 NC> the test... ;)

Yes.  But....  :-)_

 NC>>> More BEER flags :-(

 NC>>> published-,300,CM,BEER:Kozel_Dark,IBN,INA:fido.vorkuta.net

 MvdV>> To be expected. Is here an exit strategy for this nonsense?

 NC> I'm afraid we'll see more, and they will remain for years, unless the
 NC> ZC doesn't allow them anymore...

The longer he waits, the more protests it will generate.

 NC>>> The typo in the hostname for node 4:920/69 has been fixed. The
 NC>>> node is still on Hold waiting for a static IP number which has
 NC>>> been requested at the ISP.

 MvdV>> A static IP is not needed for Fidonet, so I wonder why.

 NC> I don't know what his current problem is (maybe CGNAT).

I wonder. Having only a CGNAT address on a fixed line is rare.

 NC> But the static IP would fix it...

Incorrect use of terms leads to confusion. A static IP and a public IP are two different things. A public IP need not be static and a static IP need not be public.


Cheers, Michiel
