Unable to connect to IGate server

Sepehr - N6IRN All Messages By This Member #10187 Hi, ? I am trying to set up an IGat. Everything seems to be working. Packets are being decoded. The connection to the gate servers is the only thing that isn't working.? ? Connect to IGate server noam.aprs2.net (192.104.234.219) failed. It's been running for a couple of hours now and has tried half a dozen IP addresses so far. I've got a good internet connection and can ping those servers. One thing that I am not too sure about is the APRS-IS password. Should I get a password for my call sign or should my call sign be appended with the SSID? Aside from the password, everything else seems fine in the config file.? ? Any help or tips would be appreciated. ? Sepehr N6IRN
David Ranch All Messages By This Member #10188 开云体育 Hello Sepehr, The password you need to generate and use is just for your callsign (No SSID).? In the direwolf.conf file, I would configure say for the "-6" SSID: -- IGLOGIN KI6ZHD-6 <the computed passcode just for "KI6ZHD" (no dash+ssid)> -- If you're not sure on the passcode you have, google around for "APRS-IS passcode generator" and you will find many. --David KI6ZHD toggle quoted message Show quoted text Hi, ?

Sepehr - N6IRN All Messages By This Member #10189 Thanks. I have another question: does the MYCALL field require an SSID, too? Currently, I have N6IVC-6 for both IGLOGIN and MYCALL, as you recommended. Still unable to connect to noam.aprs2.net.

The DNS name noam.aprs2.net has a list of many addresses. This is for load balancing and automatic failover is one server is unavailable. ? It is not uncommon to see one or more failure to connect messages. There should be success after trying a few. ? Send us everything from the screen if you think there is still a problem. ? 73, john WB2OSZ ?
David Ranch All Messages By This Member #10191 开云体育 Hello Sepehr, I have another question: does the MYCALL field require an SSID, too? If you want to be seen as N6IRN-6, then YES, it needs to read "MYCALL N6IRN-6" Currently, I have N6IVC-6 for both IGLOGIN and MYCALL, as you recommended. Still unable to connect to noam.aprs2.net. You mentioned you can ping those servers but can you connect to the standard IGATE port?? For example, I'll test the first example: -- $ host noam.aprs2.net noam.aprs2.net has address 192.104.234.219 <---------------------------- noam.aprs2.net has address 44.135.208.225 noam.aprs2.net has address 69.197.140.169 noam.aprs2.net has address 44.184.136.10 noam.aprs2.net has address 167.114.2.176 noam.aprs2.net has address 155.138.131.1 noam.aprs2.net has address 168.138.92.145 noam.aprs2.net has address 44.25.16.4 $ telnet 192.104.234.219 14580 Trying 192.104.234.219...

Sepehr - N6IRN All Messages By This Member #10229 Hi everyone, ? Thanks for all your assistance. Just wanted to post an update here. Turns out the network that I was trying to use was not allowing outgoing connection to whatever port that APRS uses. I brought the setup home and everything started to work. Then I took the setup back to the original location and this time I used a mobile hotspot. It's been running ever since with no issues. ? Best, ? Sepehr N6IRN
Andrew P. All Messages By This Member #10230 Not surprising. A lot of networks are restricting outbound access to authorized ports only (such as standard HTTP and HTTPS ports) to prevent malware that sneaks past their security from being able to "phone home". And the standard APRS-IS port numbers are not consistent with any approved web standard.
