Hey Zip,

Ta>>   node 21:3/100 -4 n3.z21.bbs.leenooks.net:24554 pass,pass,pass -
Ta>>   node 1337:2/100 -4 n2.z1337.bbs.leenooks.net:24554 pass,pass,pass -

Zi> Try changing this to 21:3/100@fsxnet and 1337:2/100@tqwnet, and also make
Zi> sure to include the domain in your address lines if you haven't already,
Zi> e.g.:

Zi> address 21:3/169@fsxnet
Zi> address 1337:2/<your node number>@tqwnet

Tried that (but tried it again, just in case I pooched it up the first time).  I didn't have any luck, but I'll do some more fiddling...

Zi> ...to see if that makes any difference, as one blurb in the config
Zi> says
Zi> that:

Zi> # If the first address is specified as a 3D/4D address, its domain will be
Zi> # taken from the domain defined in the first "domain" line. If more
Zi> addresses # are specified as 3D/4D ones, their domain will be taken from
Zi> the first # address.

Zi> The last part there might be why it "borrows" the fsxnet domain for your
Zi> additional addresses (1337:2/<your node number>).

Yeah, that's what made me try it originally.

Zi> I have added "fsxnet.nz" to my config, although I see now that it
Zi> doesn't
Zi> seem to resolve my address:

Zi> host n202.n1.z21.fsxnet.nz
Zi> Host n202.n1.z21.fsxnet.nz not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

:-(

Ta>> Am I wrong in assuming I should be able to send netmail to a node
Ta>> listed in a node line without needing a binkp.net style lookup or
Ta>> nodelist?

Zi> Yes, I think so.

Zi> And if you want binkd to be able to send to any node (e.g. for crashmail),
Zi> you would add something like:

Zi> defnode *

Zi> ...at the end. But this of course requires that the root domain has been
Zi> set for each network so that it can resolve the FTN address to an IP
Zi> number.

I have defnode setup, but not the root-domain bit.

Zi> Hope this helps!

Has given me some pointers towards things to look at - muchly appreciated.

Cheers,
Bob.
