    I am having an issue connecting to an IP address. For some odd-ball
    reason my OS/2 system cannot resolve applewoodbbs.linkpc.com, so I'm
    using its actual IP address in my binkd.cfg file like so:

    Not sure if it's related, but for what it's worth, I can't resolve that dns record either. The root "linkpc.com" resolves fine.

    That is because Mark made a type. The host name is: applewoodbbs.linkpc.net


    Bye, Wilfred.

    node 2:25/21@fidonet 82.30.228.138:24555

    What comes back is:

    + 18 Mar 09:09:01 [33615] getaddrinfo failed: hostname nor servname provided, Any ideas on how to get around this issue? I'm sure I'm configuring this wrong. -- Thanks in advance, Marc

    That has solved the problem indeed. Many thanks.

    Best regards,
