Alrighty everyone. So I know my gateway is happy being part of the AmprNet, ( My tunl0 interface is working) because I get the correct IP address of my 1 and only host (for now) on my local AmprNet network when using Rob’s http://44.60.44.10/whatismyip/ Woo Hoo. The biggest part of this is done. But my only problem now is… I can resolve, ping, and get ping responses using hostnames such as Bob’s linux.ve3mch.ampr.org and every other hostname’s he has, on my Gateway machines terminal but NOT from the 1 and only host(for now). BUT!! I can ping their IP addresses. I know this is a DNS issue but what DNS entry should I be using on my AmprNet host to resolve domain names to their IP addresses on the AmprNet? Should I be running my own? Not really sure where to attack this issue. After this, I believe I’ll be ready to pitch my services to the MESH network guys here in the Valley to see what interest I can spun up in joining at least a couple of nodes for now onto the AmprNet itself. Also ill work on returning my packet node to service after a few years and have it available on the AmprNet. Thanks all. I have faith in this.

I changed web browsers and was able to log in. Here is what is in the portal for my gateway. Both subnets are listed, but indeed only the first one is in the encap.txt file. [cid:ii_l97dnxsc0] Evidently the subnet that is not in encap.txt is being advertised via RIP44 because various people are able to communicate with my IP's in 44.92.0.64/28<http://44.92.0.64/28>. 73, Lee K5DAT On Wed, Oct 12, 2022 at 9:18 PM Lee D Bengston <kilo5dat@gmail.com<mailto:kilo5dat@gmail.com>> wrote: Harold, Nothing has been down on my end. I think most people use ampr-ripd these days to get the routes, so not being in the encap.txt file would not affect them. I have 8 or 9 AXIP links between my packet node and others over amprnet, and all of them are up and have been for weeks. It does look like my password expired on the portal, so I need to address that. I would think if I didn't log in to the portal often enough, and they wanted to suspend my allocation, then the routes for my allocation would disappear from the ampr-ripd broadcast AND the encap.txt file. I seem to recall when I first started playing with amprnet that there were routes missing in encap.txt.

Today I am not able to ping any of the 3, but maybe you have made some changes. I did try pinging some other amprnet addresses and still could. 73, Lee On Mon, Oct 10, 2022 at 2:54 PM Harold Kinchelow <k7ilo@outlook.com<mailto:k7ilo@outlook.com>> wrote: Ok Lee Try now.
