I just wanted to let you all know that the rustyHedgehog is officially open for business... yeah, there's lots left to do for the first phase
of things... mostly artwork... but, after a lot of coding to get things
up and running, it's ready to go!
Please feel free to take a look around and let me know if you find anything wrong... especially, in this first roll out... or if there's anything you think it needs... there's a lot more to come... enjoy and I hope you like it!

That name is delightfully perfect.
I will certainly get to it as soon as I possibly can: I'm at the point
I seem to be having problems connecting via this address.
Perhaps it's an IPV6(?) issue on my end? I don't really know that much about networking per se, and IPV6 is in and of itself a complete mystery to me - if it doesn't work automatically, I'm scuppered.
Is dynv6.net a dynamic IPV6 IP service? Not even sure if you can have
IPV6 without IPV4, or vice versa ... totally out of my depth now.

If IPV6 is even enabled, it wouldn't interfere with IPV4 service, and while you 'can' have one without the other, IPV4 is almost always
enabled. After all, this is the default for nearly every network, and
the entire internet...
First thing I'd check is the port number in whichever telnet program you're using, which should be 2300 not the default of 23. If you're
using SyncTERM, I can guide you through the entire process. :)

Sorry, your having probs... the actual command line usually looks like
> telnet rustyheadgehog.dynv6.net 2300
this: but certainly can depend on os, tooling, etc...
telnet rustyhedgehog.dynv6.net 2300Trying 81.130.111.239...

I don't know how yet, but that's not my ip... what ip do you get whenPING rustyhedgehog.dynv6.net (81.130.111.239) 56(84) bytes of data.
you ping rustyhedgehog.dynv6.net and ping therhh.dynv6.net... that's really wierd
ping rustyhedgehog.dynv6.net

If I'm the only one experiencing issues, I'll have to get tinkerbell to take a look and figure out what he's broken.
Thanks McDoob, your assistance is very much appreciated; it's precisely this kind of helpful advice that makes fsxNet a great place to frequent.
LOL, you got me: I was initially attempting to connect via the default port. That said however, switching to 2300 failed to resolve the issue.
If everyone else is able to connect without issue, I'll have to get my
son to take a look at the 'enhancements' he's made to my network.
Please call him tinkerbell. I'm sure he'd appreciate that! (^_^)
No, sir, thank YOU! For giving me someone to assist, and for making me feel appreciated! <3
Sounds like you've got other problems. I'm following along with your conversations with seeLive, and that's definitely not his IP address. Honestly, I have no idea how that's happening.
For reference, when I ping'ed his bbs address just now, I saw 32.208.166.114 Keep in mind, he's using a dynamic DNS service for a reason. The IP address will change, once in a while...
Don't worry, we'll get you through this! =D
LOL, there's a story behind that. It's a nickname my father coined due
to his propensity for tinkering; from pocket watches to his
grandmother's mangle, if it wasn't nailed down he'd have it in bits. It got shortened to 'Tinker' over the years, but it's a name that's
followed him most of his life.
People usually appreciate the good folk they encounter - they just
forget to tell them most of the time.
Apparently, there's a (DNS?) service running on my network which allows
me to use easy to remember names for the various devices I connect to around my home. I'm told the issue is likely related to that and should
be fixed toot sweet.
I think it's likely to be a routing issue... not sure where, though... are y using public dns, not from your provider? try going to 32.208.166.114 direct and see what happens...
Is it my imagination, or did you add a one-liner to The Rusty Hedgehog?
Looks like you figured something out!
I did indeed - you are a very perceptive chap!
My son asked me to connect using an IP he gave me (I've already
forgotten what it was) and it connected without issue. I think it was
this that lead him to his conclusions regarding my setup.
As you kindly pointed out, this IP is likely to change over time, so I'm hoping to have it working by tomorrow.
Sounds just like me. Except for one thing: my temper. Call me
tinkerbell, I dare ya!
You don't have to tell me! Even just holding the door for someone, they don't say 'thank you' anymore...but I still say 'you're welcome' just to remind them...
For the record, my toots are not sweet. XD
I think it's likely to be a routing issue... not sure where, though... using public dns, not from your provider? try going to 32.208.166.114 d and see what happens...
I connected and logged in just fine with his hostname.
OK, that gave me a belly chuckle. Just when I thought the day was over, someone steps in and gives me the greatest gift of all: laughter. Never underestimate the effect one person can have on another.
It's my experience that people tend to elevate themselves when given an opportunity to do so; if you transmit kindness long enough, it'll find
its way back to you eventually.
"Do unto others as you have them do unto you" as the Good Book says.
Okay, I was logging into your board and saw 81.135.x.x... so, it would seem that it's resolving to something local to you... and not getting
out correctly... are you windows or linux?

So, if I happen to be a repentless masochist, must I humilliate and
flail them in a dungeon decorated with black leather accesories?

Hallo Taliadon,
dynv6.net is a DynDNS service that not only offers IPv4 dynamic DNS,
but also IPv6 dynamic DNS services.
That's needed eg. if your ISP won't offer you a fixed IPv6 prefix, but
a dynamic one.
Using dynv6, you can store your suffixes there and on every prefix change, you update that and so you get stable connections to your system.
That's how I use dynv6 for my BBS :)
I believe something similar was configured for my network via ddns.net.
Thankfully, the powers that be have looked into the issue and I'm now
able to connect to 'The Rusty Hedgehog' via the name provided - at least for now :)

I also connected to The Rusty Hedgehog this morning and it's also working here :)
Yep :) Although I don't write that much, I'm still around :)
Hey TALIADON, Glad you got it sorted!
ddns.net, dynv6.net, and sytes.net are basically doing the same thing: Dynamic Domain Name Service. There are no doubt many others, too.

TBH, I think the 'v6' part sent me off down a blind alley :)
