[Dxspider-support] How to connect with PuTTY ?

[Eric Carling]

Hi Bela,

Are you running a firewall or proxy server? The reason I ask is that,
following your findings about passive negotiation, I had a look at the PuTTY
documentation. It states:
 
In active mode, PuTTY starts to send negotiations as soon as the connection
is opened.
In passive mode, PuTTY will wait to negotiate until it sees a negotiation
from the server.

The obvious disadvantage of passive mode is that if the server is also
operating in a passive mode, then negotiation will never begin at all. For
this reason PuTTY defaults to active mode.
However, sometimes passive mode is required in order to successfully get
through certain types of firewall and Telnet proxy server.
Maybe this helps your investigations? I hope so.
73 de Eric.

Hi Eric,

while RAW mode works, the real solution is to use TELNET in PASSIVE
NEGOTIATION WORK. Maybe a firewall issue, had no time for further
investigation.

With PuTTY I can connect to ha5di.dyndns.org 8000 but only if the protocol
in PuTTY is set to RAW. When it is set to the default of TELNET, the
connection is forcefully rejected. 
 
I have no idea why that should happen at HA5DI-5 and if I try other
DXSpiders using the TELNET default setting, the login is normal and the
connection is made.

Hi,
 
when users connect with PuTTY they get 'Invalid callsign' or 'Timout'
message and get disconencted. Tried different seteups but no solution yet.
 
Is there anybody out there using PuTTY?
