Hi,
I wouldn't normally post here about this, but I see a couple of others
seem to have gotten a response from doing so.
I am new to amatuer radio and while I was getting my license someone
told me about APRMnet, so I decided to join. I put in a network
request back in november and got a response from the coordinator G1FEF
asking for clarification on my request. I responded via the portal,
however that has been the last I have heard.
I sent a follow-up email directly at the beginning of January, however
I haven't had any further response.
What should I do next?
Thanks,
- Mike, M6XCV
Greetings!
I have a /22 block of AMPRNet space. I've configured it for tunnel access, and defined the gateway in my portal. Following the instructions on the wiki, here is my router config:
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
ip address 44.48.8.1 255.255.252.0 secondary
ip address 96.82.54.108 255.255.255.240
duplex auto
speed auto
media-type rj45
end
interface Tunnel0
no ip address
tunnel source 96.82.54.108
tunnel mode ipip
tunnel destination 169.228.66.251
end
results of 'sh int tunnel0'
amprnet-router#sh int tunnel0

At this point, I believe I need to get RIP running with the right options. However, this is where the wiki falls short. The only rip configs examples are for the linux daemons. Here is the output of 'sh ip prot'
amprnet-router#sh ip protocols
*** IP Routing is NSF aware ***

As is standard practice, I've put all interfaces in passive-default, and then explicitly defined tunnel0 as non-passive. I have not been able to establish any sort of RIP adjacency:
amprnet-router#sh ip route rip

E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route, H - NHRP, l - LISP
+ - replicated route, % - next hop override
Gateway of last resort is not set
amprnet-router#sh ip rip database
44.0.0.0/8 auto-summary
44.48.8.0/22 directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0
Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer any guidance.

It is advisable to make your system an IPIP tunnel gateway for the same subnet as you advertise via BGP.
Make sure you use a non-44 public IP for the tunnel.
> On a related note, I have been using OpenVPN to provide publicly routable /32 IP addresses to individual Windows PC. I don’t see support for IPIP on Windows, are there any other tunnelling methods worth looking at, for Windows7 specifically, or is OpenVPN my best bet?
We offer OpenVPN but beware: it allows an easy entry into the AMPRnet that has nothing to do with
amateur radio anymore. You just become a VPN provider like there already are so many on internet.
To do something amateur-radio related with AMPRnet you really should offer radio access and encourage
the users to use it, and OpenVPN works counter-productive in that regard.

Hi,
I am interested in accessing 44 Net number via BGP. What would be the best avenue to discuss this? I already sent a message using the “Contact Us” link on the portal. How would I go about it?
Thanks,

I am the Utah coordinator. Based on the inquiry I checked my spam mail and
found what I believe is the subject request. This will be processed shortly.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

How long does it usually take for the coordinator to approve requests? I know the holidays will get in the way. I'm just wondering. I'm looking for some space in Utah.
Thanks.
Is there someone from there on this list? If so please contact me
offlist. Thanks.

show my body to itself in the mirror and it throws plenty of

I found the talk that was just released, by Brian, W9CR very informative.
Very good historical overview of IPv4 as well, highly recommend watching it.

Hello Paul G4APL.
Could you please contact me off the list
as I lost your e-mail address. Weird...
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards.

In that case it is not so bad. However, my experience is that most users who do
not understand the portal (and of course there are more of those in my country,
because they have the language barrier in addition to the already complicated matter)
and get a request returned to them (previously this was called rejected, now it
is called returned) will always manage to click on the re-submit link. So
the ball is again in my park, and when I don't play it back to them, I get
the reminders. I have once got it returned 3 times this way.
Normally it is not a real problem when a requester does not come back after
requesting additional information, because (here) the original request usually
wasn't what they wanted anyway (we use the portal only for IPIP gateways).
