Two reasons, as d-rats starts up, it tries to announce itself to the internet, or to the server.
I get an error message "RAT: Unable to connect (Unable to connect ((10061, "Connection refused))).
Second, I don't know if this is an automatic thing or not, but without touching anything, I saw the
message CQCQCQCQ try to go out, and it was highlighted in yellow, I read somewhere that showd
there was an error and it didn't go out.? I may be reading this all wrong.

I haven't used d-star/d-rats in a long time, but when I used to use it, I remember seeing traffic from all
over the world.

I also recently changed to a new router, bought a MikroTik, with takes a lot more setting up than your
run of the mill d-link or linksys.? I have a lot of configuration to do, that could be part of the problem too,
but you know what they say, can't see the forest through the trees, could be just me and something simple.

I'm all ears, where should I go next, for one thing, should we start a new thread or is this ok with everybody?

Hi -? how do you know you are not connecting to the internet – do you mean you are not connecting to a ratflector?? RAT is currently not working, try a different one, like the? Training one and see if you connect.

David:

The brand name on the adaptor is Trendnet, model tu-s9, I sell computer products, it's
a brand I sell, did a driver update with windoze, it downloaded the prolific driver.? So far
seems to be working.? I haven't read the article about counterfeit chips yet, will do.

Dumb question, I went to the url where it has all the comments.? Looks like a lot of source
code for fixes.? What do I do to upgrade my version?? I clicked on the zip, downloaded
the file to a directory and expanded it, but that doesn't look like what I want, is it?? I was
expecting to see a setup, install, or d-rats.exe file there, did I miss it?

BTW, I saw the table of baud rates, yes, I have my 92AD at 38.5K, both in the program and
set with the device manager.? I remember with th! e 2820s, the driver set to 38K isn't a problem
but the program had to be set to 9600.? There seemed to be confusion as to what baud rate
the device itself had to be.
