This is what I got just a minute ago..

alan@trmb:~$ telnet capitolcityonline.net 24554 Trying 67.131.57.133... Connected to capitolcityonline.net. Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

So I think I did connect breifly before the connection was closed.

As it is not being logged by synchronet/binkit, I syspect whatever you are connecting to happens before it ever gets there. :(

Hello Dumas,

So I think I did connect breifly before the connection was closed.

As it is not being logged by synchronet/binkit, I syspect whatever you
are connecting to happens before it ever gets there. :(

Yes, I did connect and the negotiation started but the connection is dropped for some reason.

We need to figure out what the reason is.

I don't know for sure but I don't think Synchronet did that, and if it did it would log the activity and IP.

If you can get binkd up on some out of the way port I could try that and then we can rule out SBBS or Binkit.

Ttyl :-),
Al

based on my analysis of the pcap file of attempts to connect to your port 24554 and 23, i agree...

have you tried rebooting your internet modem?

It actually turned out to be a misunderstanding of how the ip-silent.can
file syntax worked. I was using a tilde where I should have been using an asterisk. :D Synchronet apparently does not log nodes which are blocked silently, or I don't have the logging turned up sensitive enough to do so.

Right, the "silent" means no-logging.

yeah, that would do it ;)

yeah, i dunno... i think/thought that silent simply meant that it wouldn't tell them they were blocked and being dropped... but yeah, it might be (or also include) not logging the action... DM should know the answer to that for sure...

this is one of those things that could be of one or more meanings :lol:

1. users not told they are blocked; connection just dropped.
2. connection block not logged.
3. both 1 and 2.
4. something else?

do the users still get notified when their IP is in the ip-silent.can file?

Thanks for confirming. I knew it meant silent on their end (i.e. they
don't receive a message), but was not sure about this end.

It's both and 2.

4. something else?

No and they're mostly not notified if their IP is in the ip.can file either.

You may already be aware of this, but those modifier characters
are explained pretty well here:
