Also the experience with automation projects is that they often get stranded partly completed, for all kinds of reasons. The question often is what is better: a working manual system or a partially finished automated system that does not offer the flexibility that a manual system has. (e.g. w.r.t. correcting mistakes, accommodating special situations, handling a large batch of updates, etc) Rob

Re: [44net] How to update the AMPR.ORG DNS records ?

Kind if wondering the status of this myself. Perhaps the easiest would be to amend the present email robot to ask for a username and password field (kind of how the old gateways robot worked) so the end user can edit their own entries? >Hi there >How do I update the AMPR.ORG DNS records ? >The Portal write that the web page that there is a test and records will >not apear in the real AMPR.ORG zone file >and the email system i used to sent updates to reply with error >Please advice >Thanks Forward >Ronen - 4Z4ZQ >http://www.ronen.org

Hi When I perform a IPR this is what I show for me 44.125.10.0/29 0 0.0.0.0 E 0 0 Locked I don't understand ? what it is showing ? My IP is 44.125.10.1 Network 44.125.10.0/24 Also how do I make sure or determine the correct IPNETMASK ? Is this the same as my subnet mask when I perform a ipconfig ? Then what would be my correct IPNetmask ? On my BPQ32 config file do I still MAP to a IP ADDRESS ? My NAT 44.125.10.2 (Within my APRNET) 192.168.0.198 ( My ip address of my BPQ32 computer) ;====================================================================== ;AMPR Gateway ;====================================================================== IPGATEWAY Adapter \Device\NPF_{0A50287E-EBE5-456D-BDDF-84BC5F7DB088} 44ENCAP 192.168.1.10 # Enable AMPRNET Tunnels and RIP44. Use 192.168.1.10 as Tunnel IPAddr 44.125.10.1 # IP address of the BPQ32 switch on your LAN IPNetmask 255.255.255.248 # Netmask of your AMPRNet allocation IPPorts 1,9 # BPQ Ports to be used for links to IP systems.

Ok let see. I'm going to say correct me if I'm wrong is that I need to upgrade my Router to a more current model. I'm using a D-Link DIR-615 that I picked up at a thrift store for $7.00 U.S.. Don't laugh !!! Ok what would be a choice for a router that would fit the bill !! Still showing up 44.125.10.0/24 0 0.0.0.0 E 0 0 Locked Dale Yanz KJ6IX Nevada State Emergency Communication Volunteer Douglas County, Nv. Packet Coordinator KJ6IX(a)ARRL.NET

My assumption was false Sorry. 73 I'll need to sit down sometime however and figure out how things that do work on the portal only actually work. Not had time. May never.

(this is forwarded as a separate attachment by the portal) Normally spammers use methods like this (filling in forms on websites) to spread some form of spam, at the minimum some URL of a website they want you to go to. But maybe in this case it was not spam or phishing but an attempt to get something registered. Some users are very confused about how to use the AMPR net. Unfortunately when you do a reject on a portal request that fact is always mailed back to the e-mail contact, I have asked for a way to silently remove requests so invalid requests like this can be deleted without resulting in a mail to an innocent person or invoke another reply by the requester. I think it has not yet been implemented. Rob
