[Dxspider-support] Connecting to clusters via ip

[Filip Jonckers]

Hi John,
 
First try from a command line window - so you can test if the problem is
related to Spider or on a operating system level...
 
You're running win98?
 
Open a MSDOS box ...
can you do a ping to the IP address ?
(ping 130.126.139.93)
 
try to do a telnet connection from the command line
telnet 130.126.139.93  8000
 
does this work ?
 
The listening port used depends on the choice of the sysop...
but prefered choices are indeed 7300 and 9000
I wouldn't use 8000 or 8080 because they are often targets of hackers
trying to find proxy servers (which use these portnumbers)

	All,
	
	I am having a problem connecting to other clusters via the
internet.  If the
	connect script contains a name (dns) the connect works fine.  If
it contains
	an ip address, I get the following:
	
	This is my connect script:
	
	timeout 60
	connect telnet 130.126.139.93 8000
	'login' 'ke2oi'
	
	This is the error I get:
	
	connect 8: timeout set to 60
	connect 8: timeout set to 60
	CONNECT 8: sort: telnet 130.126.139.93 8000 Bad File descriptor
	Use of unitialized value in subroutine entry at
/spider/perl/msg.pm line 217
	Connect 5 failed to 130.126.139.93 8000 bad file descriptor
	
	This is version 56.954 running on a win 98 box.
	
	Thanks
	John KE2OI
