First I wanted to mention I am glad to read Bjorn's message about
adding some content to the network.
Keeping in contact is key. Be that a coordinator or any host on the
amprnet. Seems every few months on here we are discussing how someone
is sending out random packets, and a straight forward way to get a
hold of people would be helpful.
Some time back it was brought up to have a whois server or something
like that. I bet I can guess the status of that.
As for everyone having an ampr.org email address, perhaps a forwarding
service like the arrl.net addresses? Then there is the possible spam
problem, and the fact that someone would need to set up such a
service.
Overall a lot of good ideas are brought up on this list, so few ever
happen. The only solution I am offering is everyone should help
spread the word and try and get more people involved with moving this
network forward. I wish I had better coding skills.
One of the core problems at least in my country where the ampr/44net
space is not well utilized is the lack of higher speed equipment to
build a network. You really have to be part of a well organized club
with site connections to do anything microwave on any big scale from
what I have seen.
Hi,
I'm trying to get an allocation of IPs (a /28) for some projects here.
The /28 is to be split between the LAN (and perhaps HSMM type wifi), and
more traditional low speed RF (i.e. 2 /29s). Looking through the
Australian lists, there were no existing regions within VHF range of
here that I could see (I'm in Bendigo, central Victoria).
Anyway, I applied over 2 weeks ago and haven't heard anything, just
wondering what the normal wait time is.

think the English language is not a problem for the Belgian coordinator but that person is too busy it seems to me it is what emerges from
the last conversation that date two year with him
what to do to restore our 44net now ???

Flemich people and never with French and do not understood our language

O dear... my fears I would get in a similar situation as with PJ2 are becoming true...
Yesterday I sent an e-mail in Dutch (should be close enough to Flemish) to the address
Brian mentioned, but I have heard nothing yet. I'll try to contact someone who knows
people active in the network there (which is quite widely deployed).

Is anyone aware of the procedure to allocate addresses in Belgium?
I entered a request on the Portal a month ago, but got no reply.
Is there some website that explains a local procedure?
(like my site for the Netherlands)

Yes I saw he is the contact for that range, but obviously he got my request by e-mail
on that same address. So I wonder if there is another method in use there.
(e.g. I still process IP allocation requests on my amsat.org mail, and in other countries
in EU it is sometimes done via hamnetdb.net)
Any users from ON on the list? Hopefully the situation does not turn out to be similar
as in PJ2 :-) (but that one is now allocated and working well)

Dear Folks,
I'm trying to set up an AMPRnet gateway at home and am running into
some problems. Has anyone successfully configured a BSD-based gateway
that would be willing to give me some pointers?
Some details of my setup:
* I have a comcast business-class circuit with a static IP address that
I've dedicated to 44net traffic (23.30.150.141).
* I have an AMPRnet network allocation (44.44.107.0/24).
* The Comcast router is configured as simply a router: all NATing and
firewalling is disabled and I can see tunneled traffic arriving at the
external NIC of my (non-comcast) router (specifically, I see RIPv2
packets with 44net routing information in them).
* My "real" router is a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite running OpenBSD 5.9. I
have the three ethernet interfaces on the ERL configured as follows:
cnmac0: flags=8b43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,ALLMULTI,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 44:d9:e7:9f:a7:64
priority: 0
groups: egress
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT full-duplex)
status: active
inet 23.30.150.141 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 23.30.150.143
cnmac1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 44:d9:e7:9f:a7:65
priority: 0
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT full-duplex)
status: active
inet 192.168.129.4 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.129.255
cnmac2: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 44:d9:e7:9f:a7:66
priority: 0
media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
status: no carrier
inet 44.44.107.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 44.44.107.255
Where I'm getting tripped up is in figuring out where to go
from here.
It seems like what I want to do is configure a gif(4) interface
for tunnel traffic, but my attempts at doing so all seem to fail,
and documentation for setting up an IPENCAP tunnel is related to
setting up IPsec gateways; my attempts at transliterating from the
examples for e.g. Linux and Cisco et al have failed.
If someone has gone down this road before and has a working
setup, that would be tremendously helpful. If someone could send
me output from 'ifconfig -a' and/or 'netstat -rn -f inet' and
possibly some 'tcpdump' output, I could probably muddle through the
rest. If there are any caveats in setting up a 'pf' based firewall,
that would be helpful as well. If not, I suppose my next step will
be to reinstall RouterOS on the ERL, try and get everything configured,
and then see if I can replicate under BSD.
Much thanks in advance! 73 de AC2OI,
- Dan C.
