I upgraded to 3.20b the other day and yesterday I was looking at the error log. It is telling me that "configured TicFilePwd is empty, but Tic file has a password. I checked my tickit.ini file and the password is there. I ran echocfg and the password is in there, so I am wondering if there is another place the Tic file password is supposed to be in this new version. Any help?

I seem to recall that this error happens when tickit.cfg is configured with 5D (domain-style) FTN addresses, but the sbbsecho.ini (where TicFilePwd is defined) has 4D addresses (or vice versa). Can you double check that?

I looked through the .ini files and rechecked scfg and echocfg and I am getting error still. Looks like the error is:

I'm just not sure where the actual error is. Any idea?

Looks like you have your BinkpHost value for that linked node set to a FTN address rather than an IP address or hostname. Double-check that setting in echocfg->Linked Nodes->1:153/757->BinkP Settings->Host. It's supposed to be a hostname or IP address.

I changed that to the IP address from Alan's board, and still am getting the error Immediately after hitting

The error you reported before was:

Connection to 1:153/757:24554 failed (Error: No such host is known. ).

You're saying you're still getting that same error message? Please be more specific.

No, I am not getting that error anymore. The error II am getting now is when I send netmail ((or even echomail) I immediately get a binkout error with failed password. After that, the mail gets sent out and goes out correctly without error as is shown in mail #1094

The message number ("mail #1094") is only relevant on your system. Since this is a networked message base, your messages have different numbers on different BBSes (including this one).

Anyway, perhaps check with your uplink, as them to review their binkp server log and see if that provides any insight. And as always, providing the relevant log/error messages in your posts/replies here would be helpful.
