Hey Al,

I'm not seeing any trace of '@fsxnet' in the .cut file in the outbound directory, and the source/destination zone/net/node look to be right.  I looked here earlier and that's what led me to the conclusion it was probably binkd doing it..

I thought HPT did, but I may still have its config wrong...

Ah - I had a quick poke around earlier and couldn't get anything obvious to resolve under fsxnet.nz.  Hopefuly he'll chime in when he has a chance (I know he's off travelling at the moment).

Sweet - I hate Perl... LoL.

 Al> Yes, binkd will get node info from your node lines and use binkp.net

That's about what I thought.

Thanks for the suggestions - I will indeed go back through my GoldED & HPT configurations, and do some comparisons between the packets that get generated for fsxnet vs those for tqwnet to see what, if any, obvious differences there are.

Cheers.
