As I type this my internet has disappeared in a puff of smoke so no idea when it will finally get out there...

Have you heard anything out of Deon recently? The email I have bounces now, I've also had DNS issues trying to talk to leenooks...

Howdy,

Have you heard anything out of Deon recently? The email I have bounces now, I've also had DNS issues trying to talk to leenooks...

An email seems to be coming in too...

Hmm, thought I saw Deon post in one of the Synchronet Dove-Net/Fidonet echos, within the last 48 hours.

Woohoo... gmail bounced the address a couple of time... not sure what was going on there, I did receive your incoming though so thats a start.

I've had a wild confluence of events. About the time the email bounced I also had trouble polling. Ended up putting an IP address in place of your regular name in the nodelist. Almost immediately after this I had a power failure that also eliminated my internet for a few days.

So I was originally just trying to confirm your DNS entries were still valid and nothing strange had occurred. Power failure played havoc with the NBN device, sat there sucking its thumb saying there was no line. That eventually came back online, and the router wouldn't behave so thats had a reset, and I've been wrestling with it since. Getting things back to where they were working.

I see him here now too.. will put it down to transient errors. See the message to Deon for a more extended spiel.

Ahh, OK.

Yes, I would use the DNS name n3.z21.bbs.leenooks.net - since it will resolve to the correct IPv4 and IPv6 address.

(IPv4 is dynamic, but IPv6 is static).

I've been having weird issues with Gmail like that lately. I had one email I sent out, which was a FTN net app, bounce but it took 5 days to do so. I started using one of my other email accounts instead.
