Hi all,

I'm new to BBSing, well not new, new to 2024-2025 since I rn a C64 and Amiga 
BBS back in the 80s. Now I'm running CNet, great system. I want to connect to 
a bunch of the FTNs, I'm using PiNet to start with because it's small.

I have the config file filled out with the info I got for PiNet, I start 
amibinkd with a script and it does start, but when it gets to the node I need 
to contact, it comes back with host unknown. I'm using a real Amiga, with a 
Firebird Accellerator and Amiga OS 3.2.2 with AMITCP and MiamiDX. I can ping 
everywhere. I can use iBrowse no problem. I can use FTP no problem. When I use
amibinkd it just dies and says host unknown. I tried replacing the hostname 
with it's corresponding IP address but that gives me a socket function no 
implemented error (or something like that). Does anyone know what I'm doing 
wrong here? Does the bink port have to be on my router and forwarded back to 
my amiga in order for an amiga initiatiated amibinkd to succeed? I'm using 
DHCP and like I said everything else seems to work network-wise and I'm not 
perplexed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated....
