 GA>  Av> So you run a BBS and a HUB on the same machine correct?
 GA> 
 GA> Yes.

OK cool.

 GA>  Av> A Mystic BBS polling what sort of a HUB do you run?
 GA> Both are Mystic

Are both the same version of Mystic and what OS?

 GA>  Av> When you mis poll [hub address] level 3 logging ... what does it say?
 GA> It doesn't show up in the logs because it's not able to make a

It should log something in the poll.log file from memory.

 GA>  Av> Could you HUB have blocked the internal IP address of your BBS pollin
 GA>  Av> it?
 GA> Have checked the blacklist and it was clear. Added to the white list
 GA> just be safe.

good stuff

 GA>  Av> When you say polling from 'both sides' I don't follow what this means
 GA> 
 GA> Polling from LoY to the hub, and polling from the hub to LoY.

so both systems fail to talk both ways, OK understood.

 GA>  Av> Does anyone else poll your HUB, have they had probs?
 GA> yes, Just about every node in SFNet connects to the hub. And the only
 GA> ones that have reported any problems are both using iRex.

an older bit of software. I am unsure if there are issues there but have a hunch g00r00 had worked to accommodate that software. I recall the BinkP server will report the type of connection it gets from the node... do you see anything in the mis logs?
