Sorry I was wrong about the Channel A or B if this is a Single Port TNC then it would be Channel A for each
TNC, how about if temporally comment out the Call in the Ports except for the WL2K Port and see what happens.

The other port HF do you have that set with a different Com Port address and Channel B
Not Channel A? and as Mark Mentioned you should use a Call with a SSID fir WL2K

Re: Packet Hanging up on BPQ

 

It could be that MyCall in the main configuration of Winlink Express is set to N5RDM, and N5RDM is also set as a NodeCall, PortCall, or an Application Call on your BPQ installation.

Basically, you call using Winlink Express as N5RDM and your BBS answers but your node is intercepting it...

Make sure Winlink Express is using a unique callsign/ssid that is not being used by your BPQ Node.? I have to use mycall-15 when I attempt any connection to my node so there is no interference.

Packet Hanging up on BPQ

 

I have my BBS set up and HF is running as it should. I set up a port for BBS 2m packet. When I try to connect on a separate radio the session hangs up after it shows connected and my node name.Do I have something wrong in the configuration file?



Im using a TNC-X as a TNC.

Thanks

Re: 255 error

Richard Hendricks - KE0GB
 

Thanks, Mike.? I've been checking my nodes tables from time-to-time, and also
changed AUTOSAVE from on to off so each time I run update/upgrade on my
RPi and restart, the nodes tables are flushed.? I haven't?seen a case of 255 in
the Obsolescence column as of yet.? ?Hopefully, John will find a solution, but
I know how busy he is with other BPQ issues.

I see that the 255 Obso. count may be coming from KB9SOZ-7 node.? I am getting
the same thing on another route from Jim's node (the route back to me) and have
asked him to delete his BPQNodes.dat file and reboot, but he has yet to respond.
Here's what I get when I connect via W9GM-7's node:


Connected to TelnetServer

c w9gm-7

COSCO:KE0GB-7} Connected to GMNOD:W9GM-7

c kb9soz-7

GMNOD:W9GM-7} Connected to WI105:KB9SOZ-7

no cosco

WI105:KB9SOZ-7} Routes to: COSCO:KE0GB-7 RTT=0.00 FR=3 B 0

144 6 6 W4GON-7

144 6 6 KA9QJT-7

I can just get a connect from his node, then no response after that.

Here's his response to a node route command for Harv - VA3HRA-7:

no va3hra-7

WI105:KB9SOZ-7} Routes to: ON105:VA3HRA-7

> 192 255 6 VA3HRA-7? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?<-----255 obso count

144 1 6 VE3SCN-7

142 5 6 N9PMO-2

?

So, he needs some work done on his nodes tables.? If you're?
monitoring, Jim, again, I ask you to please stop your BPQ
system, delete the BPQNodes.dat file, and reboot.? Let the
system repopulate the nodeslist from scratch and all should
be well.

Re: 255 error

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hi Rick
?
Yes VA3HRA-7 showed a Obsolescence of 255 in my Nodes Table, I used the Sysop command NOD DEL VA3HRA-7
and he is now deleted, I also checked my BPQNODES.DAT File for similar, how ever one has to be carful doing
it this way as many do send a Quality of 255 Obsolescence isn¡¯t shown in the BPQNODES.Dat file.
?
I will watch to see if Harv shows up again as Obsolescence of 255, I checked at your end all is well, as I mentioned
in last email I do see it from time to time, how it gets changed from a Normal Obsolescence to 255 I am not
sure, only thing I can think of is the BPQ32 Node Quality normalizer.
?
May John will chime in also, I know John and I discussed this before and I think in one case either G8BPQ showed
up Here as a Obsolescence 255 or it was in his nodes table once I don¡¯t exactly remember now.?

Re: 255 error

Mike:

We've been trying to connect to VA3HRA-7 and this morning, I noticed that we are going
thru your node, so I checked the routing of Harv's node from you, and got this:

COSCO:KE0GB-7} Connected to WIRAC:N9PMO-2

no on105

WIRAC:N9PMO-2} Routes to: ON105:VA3HRA-7

> 192 255 2 VA3HRA-7? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?<-----There's that dreaded 255 again!

144 6 2 KB9SOZ-7

144 3 2 GM3YEW-4

So, perhaps with this newest release from John, now would be an opportune time to
test it.

Re: IPGATEWAY, 44ENCAP and actual AMPRGW on remote wireguard host

 

Hi,

I am reworking networking etc here to try to approach this differently.? I think there were some issues with the software and being able to handle IPIP the way I was attempting in this stack and interaction with my network config at the time.?? So I will do some a bit more research and come back after with newer info.? The past info may be completely moot then.

Chat Server Config

 

Hello All,
I just discovered some strange behavior with 6.0.23.1 on Windows 10.
If you start the Chat Server first it complains of not finding its config in Appdata\Roaming\BPQ32 but instead works with a config in Appdata\Local\VirtualStore\Program File(x86)\BPQ32. If I start the Mail Server first, then the Chat Server, all is well and the config in Appdata\Roaming\BPQ32 is used as it should be.
Your mileage may vary...

Re: IPGATEWAY, 44ENCAP and actual AMPRGW on remote wireguard host

 

Hi John,

Well yea I wanted to do encap routing back to my main encap termination point in that case.
It may not be as doable on bpq as I thought, i dont know.?

AFAIK, you cant tell bpq in the config to only use a virtual ip assigned to a aliased network nic in linux.
There is no way to specify source ips for tunnel endpoints?? Does it have to use whatever main ip that traffic exits on from the NIC perspective in linux?
Did i overlook something?


Re: IPGATEWAY, 44ENCAP and actual AMPRGW on remote wireguard host

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

What do you want to use IPGATEWAY for? It's main purposes are to run IP over RF links or to provide an amprnet tunnel endpoint, but you already have the latter.

John

44.76.0.195 -> ANYTUNNELED_44_IP

vice versa on the return path.? Regardless IPIP packets need to get to 44.76.0.193 via linux kernel routing to work in wireguard.

I do this this way because at the linux amprnet gw its easily controls ingress to only allow amprnet ips to access my amprnet ips from a centralized firewall at the router gw.

Hi Kayne

Here¡¯s my very minimal config:

IPGATEWAY
ADAPTER eth0
IPADDR 192.168.1.9
IPNETMASK 255.255.255.0
NODEFAULTROUTE
ENABLES

Before bullseye, the IP 192.168.1.9 would be ping-able even though it didnt show up on the interface in ifconfig for LinBPQTAP, after bullseye it was completely unresponsive until I added the routes on the host OS.

How does that IPGATEWAY section look on your side?

Re: IPGATEWAY, 44ENCAP and actual AMPRGW on remote wireguard host

 

HI Kayne

Not sure if this is applicable to you but I had serious problems after changing from buster to bullseye where the TAP interface wouldn¡¯t respond to anything either, in the end the OS needed to have a route manually added after it was brought up so I added a background task with a sleep timer after linbpq launched to put the route back each time.


I don¡¯t run AMPR so mine is applicable to just getting the TAP device to talk to the OS interfaces so that I can pull SNMP stats from the BPQ node,

in my runbpq script that is called from systemd:

(sleep 25; /home/bpq/nodes/pe1rrr/LinBPQTAP-route) &


The LinBPQTAP-route:

!/bin/bash -x
sudo route del -host 192.168.1.9 dev LinBPQTAP metric 10
sudo route add -host 192.168.1.9 dev LinBPQTAP metric 10

the metric option was crucial in putting the route before any other default in the table.

I hope this sheds some light with some clues where it may be going wrong.

73 all the best
