The short answer might be "don't use Windows" coupled with "don't
connect an old and unsupported operating system that is known to
be full of holes to the internet". <br>
<br>
But if you insist on using WIndows XP, here are some questions:<br>
<br>
1. Is your node on the "inside" leg of a NATing router (probably
with a 192.168.x.y address)? From your description and the use of
ddns.net I would guess the answer is yes.<br>
2. Have you created a "pinhole" or reverse NAT entry in router so
that user can connect to port 7300 on the outside of your router
and then have the router connect to your node?<br>
<br>
And a statement:<br>
<br>
As an author, I *STRONGLY* discourage the use of port 23. You
should be aware of the security implications of running software
on ports below 1024: it means that the software must run with root
or Administrator privileges (hence the error messages on startup).
Telnet is not just a program, but it also has a protocol
associated with it when it connects to the "telnet" port of 23.
DXSpider does not support that protocol, even though using port 23
will probably work apart from some spurious binary characters that
may appear on login. <br>
<br>
I think you will find that the problem is with the setup of your
router and and not your provider. Furthermore that probably means
that your router is accepting connections from the internet on
port 23, which is a security risk all by itself. <br>

Hi, all.</p>
<p>I am trying to start packet and telnet cluster with Spider
(think it is v1.55) and I passed installation process in WinXP
using strawberry pearl. Cluster starts fine and connection with
AGW UZ7 sound modem is working fine and I connect to cluster via
RF and (also telnet from localhost) successfully and with no
problem. I can leave and check for messages and etc... This so
is working fine. </p>
<p>Now, I want to enable telnet access from the Internet and
connect it with another node to start receiving spots. I opened
no-ip account e79ztb.ddns.net on port 23 that is active on PC.
The port is visible form the Internet. BUT, I just can not
access by telnet via Internet. I first tried port 7300 but it is
closed (probably by my provider) but 23 is open so I use this
one. When I connect from the "other side" using PUttY or
whatever it looks like connected but screen is blank and nothing
happens, after wile connection is "timed out".</p>
<p>In local/Listeners file I put ("0.0.0.0." 23) according to
manual I thought this would work... but not.</p>
<p>Yesterday I notices that when starting cluster.pl the system is
started but it says something like "bad misconduct in file
cluster.pl in line 174 and 149" and something else with same
idea. This is not exactly like it as I pull it from my memory..</p>
<p>What I want was enabling ax25 "message server" (which I
managed) but it would bi nice if it could also deliver spots as
it is supposed to do, but first I have to deal with Internet
access.</p>
<p>Please tell me what I am doing wrong, I hope to resolve this, I
suppose one problem at the time... </p>
<p>Thanks for any help.</p>
