Subj : Outbound Connections??

Hello There,
In recent days I have had a situation that I am not sure YET just what the
cause was. Some days ago I noticed that BBBS stopped calling out via BinkD for
mail. All outbound connection attempts were "No Carrier" with the log showing:
181014 01:04 Calling Prizm, filegate.net:24555
181014 01:04 NO CARRIER
181014 01:05 Calling Prizm, filegate.net:24555
181014 01:05 NO CARRIER
181014 01:07 Calling Prizm, filegate.net:24555
181014 01:07 NO CARRIER
Upon further inspection I noticed that NO outbound connections were possible.
meaning that I couldn't surf the web, check email, Etc. on the BBBS PC.
BUT, I could connect to BBBS via an inbound connection from other PC's as well
as my cell phone. The PC in question currently runs Ubuntu 16.10. In testing I
did change network cables, changed the NIC being used the problem PC as well
changing the IP that the PC used. None of the things I tried allowed an
outbound connection.
Finally, I decided to move BBBS completely over to a different PC the alternate
PC currently runs Linux Mint 19.0. Once BBBS was moved and loaded to the new
PC I was able to connect to Janis and Nick just fine.
Anyone have any thoughts or ideas. I am the type that doesn't like unanswered
questions and am planning to continue to find out the actual cause of the
problem.
