... Heh. I just stumbled across this as I was moving the DOSEMU stuff from my old site to my new site. There's a redirect at the old location, the new...
I upgraded my server to Windows Server 2008 and have three issues. The first is that most of the doors don't work. There don't seem to be any errors in the...
As for the problem with the DOS door, like Vista, you probalby need to copy the sbbsexec.dll file to your Windows/System32 directory. I guess I'll have to see...
Rob, Thanks again for all these years of support. This not only fixed the Door issue, but the NT Service no longer hangs on stop or restart. It was freezing...
Okay, I found the problem for the third issue, the FTP doesn't work. I can connect via the command line, but even an LS command just locks it up indefinitely...
If you're having FTP client problems, it's usually because of firewall/NAT gateway devices. See http://www.ncftpd.com/ncftpd/doc/misc/ftp_and_firewalls.html...
I hope it's something like that. I opened a ticket at experts-exchange and haven't gotten a good response yet. This only happens on the WIn2k8 box, and it...
Internet explorer uses PASV FTP by default (it's configurable) while the Windows command-line ftp (ftp.exe) does not support PASV mode. You could disabling...
Alex, is this box the Win2k8 a 64bit system? If it is - many of the programs that run with SBBS are not going to work as they are 16bit. Win2k8 64bit does not...
Hey Rob, Is there a possibility of converting the message base and the file base into like a mysql database system? Along with those, I was thinking that if it...
Thanks David, but I'm still on a 32 Bit box and all synch stuff seems to run fine. It's something in the port settings, FTP, or permissions that's the hold up...
What exactly did you do to "force PASV mode"? -Rob ... From: Alex Grosholz To: synchronet@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, October 03, 2008 6:07 AM Subject: Re:...
I typed quote PASV, but I wasn't thinking as usual and all that does is set the server that way obviously. So I'm still at a dead end there, but I have the...
If you wish the Synchronet QNET-FTP script to use Passive mode, you need to look at your exec/qnet-ftp.src and make sure it contains the following line: set...
You know, Rob, I just want to thank you in general for all the years of support you've provided for Synchronet BBS. It really is the best BBS system out...
Rob, Sorry I wasn't clear, I meant I removed it from exec dir not the Windows System Dir. It only works for a little while and then the doors stop working...
Rob, I haven't had any success. After moving the sbbsexec.dll to the windows system directory, the doors began to work, but they only work for a few hours and...
There is something unique about the system configuration, and I don't believe it's Win2k8 that's the problem. Are you running Synchronet as services or as a...
Thanks Rob for getting right back. I wanted to test all the angles an be sure before I got back to you. Running sbbs.exe reacts the same way. All the doors...
32-bit doors stop working too? If you think the problem is a timed event, have you tried disabling the Events in the Telnet Server configuration? When it stops...
Okay, I'm going to let it run over night, but I'm pretty positive that it's the FTP. When the vert.bat callout goes it locks up the dos-doors. I echoed out...
The reason you cant outbound on FTP at work is because you're probably using Microsoft ISA Server as your proxy server, which has a default lockdown on...
Thanks, Rob, that appeared to do the trick. I just have understood your first message about QNET and avoided all the subsequent problems. Just wanted to send...
So doors are working okay now? Weird. -Rob ... From: Alex Grosholz To: synchronet@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 1:52 PM Subject: Re:...
Yep, they've been working fine ever since. Something is really strange with FTP on win 2k8. I even have an FTP server running now on another IP on the box and...
Are you referring to SIF questionnaires? If so, there is the Baja CREATE_SIF function which can be called from virtually anywhere in the BBS. -Rob ... From:...
