[App_rpt-users] Failed Connections

Sun May 13 00:33:35 UTC 2018

Well you were right Mike, about possibly an issue with the router.

It has a dns relay function that was turned off. I forgot that I had reset my router about a month ago and that function is default off.

My allstar server has a static ip so that’s why it wouldn’t resolve anything past the router itself.

Almost everything in my  house uses the dhcp function so that’s why I didn’t see the issue because dhcp tells the computers everything they need to know.

Thanks for all of the suggestions.  I am now back to my routers ip address in my resolv.conf file.

Well, I know that some of you that have problems with dns get around them by using google dns BUT...

I think you need to take a good look at your network config in your server and perhaps router. But I think your server will be your likely target. But it could be both. In short I would say verify your router first and scub-out your server 'net config' very well.

If everything is right, it should work right away after a reboot, at least for outbound connects..

But I'm glad to hear it's working for you.

Sorry gang for not getting back sooner but what I did find is that I could not ping anything except for local ip address’s with my router as the dns server

So I changed it to Google’s quad 8’s and I was able to ping things on the internet but was still not able to connect to anything.

But today, I decided just to check because sometimes it takes time for dns records to populate and low-and-behold, I was able to connect to nodes now.

What was funny is, after the online nodes portal was re-instated, I was showing in the online nodes list but couldn’t go anywhere.

Oh well, its working now.

Thanks all

Giving this some more thought... (what was I thinking... or not)

I guess I skipped over the fact you may not have a internet connection at all.

Probably the first check anyway. Try something from a command line first to check it.

Reboot router/computer and check again / check dns at node.

start with the DTMF.

listen to the readback of the failed connect. or Watch the console output 

but before you make any changes to the system, reboot it.

If nothing has changed with your config than adjusting something is the wrong solution.

The chances of something having gone wrong in memory is a bit higher in a rf environment and a reboot often will flush that out. If it does, you need to look at bad memory and/or rf getting on your wiring.

But other possibilities exist.

Yes its been some time since I’ve monitored the emails because I’ve had way too many to try to read through them but….

I have a question to probably a common problem and easy fix.

I am using the Dial distro of allstar which has been working great up to some point.

So today I decided to fire up the old HT and dial up a node for some traffic to listen to.

Connection failed is what I’m getting.

No matter what node I try to dial up I get, Connection failed.

All of my config files look ok and I have not done any changes to either my allstar node or my port forwarding on my router.

Where might I start to find and resolve my issue.

Thanks gang
