From Newsgroup: alt.bbs.synchronet

This is the message I am getting:

* Looking up irc.campaignhqbbs.us
* Connecting to campaignhqbbs.us (108.91.36.159:6667)
* Connection failed (Connection refused)
Cycling to next server in CampaignHQBBS...

Also a message in the control window:

12/29 12:30:28p QNET No new messages.
12/29 12:30:28p QNET Call-out: PANDAICE
12/29 12:30:34p QNET FTP Session with gamenet.synchronetbbs.org failed: Error: Login failed: 530 Invalid login.
12/29 12:30:34p QNET Call-out to: PANDAICE returned 1

I thought this one was because I was using the wrong name. Well, if I was it is happening on all names. I am nearly getting to installing FTN for mail and skipping QWK.

Thank you for your help...

Looks like a firewall issue or port mapping if the ircd is, in fact, listening on port 6667. OP never posted anything to show that it was.

I had a firewall, semi-semi-configured. I had it going to the wrong machine. --- Synchronet 3.20a-Linux NewsLink 1.113
