I just had to switch IP providers and am now on Charter Spectrum. ?They gave me a new router and I have opened ports 9000 and 9500 in the router. ?I also had to completely rebuild my Raspberry Pi D-Rats installation and have Version 0.4.1 loaded. ?I have checked the ports on the target machine with portchecktool.com and that Internet based program indicates the two needed ports are open and listening. ?However, when I start the D-Rats repeater and try to connect with a client I get the following: ?StTammany: Unable to connect ([Errno 111] Connection refused).
I have refreshed the SD card, tried other versions of the software, but I still get Connection refused, or target actively refused the connection. ?What am I doing wrong?? ?The system has been down for a couple of weeks now after the older Pi I was using, still running Buster and version 0.3.9 started messing up. ?While trying to fix the refusal problem I ended up bricking the SD card and, of course, I can't do a new install of 0.3.9 as the required dependencies are no longer available for the older software. ?Any ideas. ?I am getting the same messages from the K5PDR ratflector up in Pennsylvania that has been refusing connections for quite a while.
