Hi Mike,

You probably set both iport and oport in your binkd config, then the behaviour
is as expected. While you only supposed to set the iport for incoming
connections!


This is translated from the russian docs, by google translate:

4.27. iport

The iport directive specifies the TCP port that will be opened by binkd to
receive incoming connections. This directive can be used to set a non-standard
port for binkd to run on, in particular to bypass the deny rules of a network
gateway firewall.

Parameter ? a positive integer or a string (the name of the port number from
the /etc/services file in unix and c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\services in
Windows NT and 2000, in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ services in Windows
XP and 2003). The default value is 24554.

This directive is optional.

Example:

iport 24555


4.41. oport

The oport directive specifies the port on which binkd will try to establish a
connection when the port for the link is not explicitly specified in the
link's host address in the node line.

Parameter ? a positive integer or a string (the name of the port number from
the /etc/services file in unix and c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\services in
Windows NT and 2000, in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ services in Windows
XP and 2003). The default value is 24554.

This directive is optional.

Example:

oport 24555


Bye, Wilfred.
