Re: Multiple Address for D-RATS Messages

I just tried last night with the standard email semicolon space between them. No results yet though. Have been wondering the same thing.?

Keith, you should just run that command one time in a shell session on
the Pi.  It adds the user "pi" to the "dialup" group.  Once it's done it
should stick.

It's not a line of code. It is a command that adds the user pi to the dialout group so pi has permissions to access the port.?

OK. I now have the ratflector working on the Raspberry Pi. I have yet to connect it to my 880H like I had it connected with on my laptop. From what I read you have to add the user "pi" somewhere in the code to enable to the Pi to access the serial converter.
I'm not quite sure where to ad that user though. I'll have to search around unless someone has done this on here already.

Once the Raspberry is up and running I have no problem with sharing that. I have it up on my laptop which is only temporary for now and not up nearly 24/7, but easier to try to get the settings right than on the Pi for my first time. It's also linked to our D-STAR repeater which is in a temporary location at our EOC for now until the water tower we have the spot for gets painted.

Again thanks guys. Getting the help you gave was worth joining this group alone. Not to mention the tons of other info on the group page.?

I'm glad you got it working. Now, are you going to give us the IP address so we can try it out? HI. I can understand if you want to keep it private.

I GOT IT!

Thanks for all of your help guys.

I made a rookie mistake, but my router didn't make it easy at all either.

After changing from a dynamic to a static IP address on my laptop, the router was showing the laptop name, and an IP address. Having several computers and wireless devices in the house, I was trying to configure port forwarding on the one I recognized, the computer name. Once I reset everything, ported to the new IP address, it worked.?

Now why my router would display the name and then the IP as if they are two seperate machines I have no idea.

I just need to write everything down now and set it up on the Raspberry Pi this time.

Again thanks for the patience and help.

Keith, I checked my router, and I only have TCP/9000 forwarded to my ratflector. ? No need to forward UDP. ?Setting it as a service should be fine. ?Is the option to "block access from the internet" related to the port forwarding rule our could it be for remote management of the router? ?If it is related to the forwarding rule (if you can check it or uncheck it for different rules) it definitely needs to be unchecked.

It's my router. Has to be. It's a Motorola Netopia 2247-62-100t

Iv'e forwarded TCP ports 9000 and 9001 in the NAT settings area, under custom services under my laptops static ip address running the repeater. The laptops ip address shows in the list of computers to foreward to so I know thats correct.

I had the option of setting it as a service or a game. I did both.

I enabled "allow server hosting" and "block access from internet".

The only thing I didn't do was set a UDP. If I tried it said it overlapped a TCP setting using the same ports.

I'm pretty much at my wits end for tonight.

It's got to be my router somehow.

Hi Keith,

You don't need to add another network port. If you can connect from any other pc on your LAN then the network port is working. All you should need now is to "port forward" port 9000 and 9001 (if you're using port 9001 too) to the Raspberry Pi on your home router.

Well. I'm not really having much luck here.
I can set up the ratflector on my Pi (only unconfigured, no port assigned) and access it through any computer in the house when I point it to the same port and IP address. When I add network port to the repeater app, the other computers refuse to connect to it. If I clear out all the settings on the repeater program and simply hit?"on" it works. I cannot connect to it from outside the house. I have port forwarded 9000 and 9001 in my router and allowed whats called "allow server hosting" which unblocks incoming traffic for hosting web, email, ftp etc...?
I have given my Raspberry a static ip address. I can only assume with others having success it has got to be my router settings or something like that.

I guess I'll keep plugging at it.

Did you add port forwarding on your connection to the outside internet?? Inside your firewall, you are all 192.168.X.X but you need to add port forwarding in your firewall to port 9000.

Sorry for the lag - I was offline yesterday for a Boy Scout activity.

We pay an ISP a few dollars a year to maintain the domain name . One of the ISP services allows adding the name as an alias. That gets anything a dressed to "" forwarded to our home system. Our home router is setup to "port forward" requests for port 9000 to the Raspberry Pi computer on our home LAN that hosts the d-rats_repeater software. For cases where your home IP address changes frequently there are services like DuckDNS that will sync up the ip address when it changes.

Adding a radio to a Ratflector is just like adding one in the d-rats client. It's been a while since I've looked at d-rats code but as I recall the code is almost the same.

Let me know if you need help, I'll be glad lend a hand.

Thanks for the quick responses everyone.
Some of the posts promp more questions.
I see that when I installed D-rats it installed the repeater program. Didn't know after using using D-rats for years even what that was. Big Duh on my part.

First question is to Mike n0so. How did you get a HTTP address for your ratflector? I'm familiar with setting up websites and I use CoreFTP to work on them.

Second question is to Chris ku7pdx. You said internet only. To add a radio, is setting up a radio in the repeater exe. the same as setting up a radio in the D-rats communications tool exe. ??

Figured out my IP address problems.

OK, this may seem weird but I saw a post on here where a guy was having the same problems I was having. He was configuring the repeater program like instructed and his wouldn't work. He said he cleared all the inputs (name, serial/internet, ip address etc..) and simply turned on the repeater program. It worked for him.

It WORKED for me as well. Whats up with that?

So I can access my ratflector on my Raspberry Pi from any computer running DRATS so far in my house. The computers aren't networked either so that is a good first step.

?I couldn't access it with my cellular hotspot and my laptop. It timed out so I'm not sure what is up with that.?

The last test is accessing it from somewhere other than my house. More to follow....
