  • Synchronet 3.19 to 3.20D

    From StingRay@1:103/705 to All on Fri Jun 13 20:05:06 2025
    Happy Friday.

    Today I decided to finally upgrade my Door Game Server and Synchronet BBS from 3.19 to 3.20.

    I started with the game server which is running Win 7 32bit. Update went smooth as butter.

    I then updated my Synchronet BBS Win 11 64bit. The update again went smooth without any errors during the update.

    I started SBBS and logged in to start testing everything. Everything was working great until I tried to RLOGIN to my Door Game Server.

    I got "!ERROR -1 (49) binding to socket rlogin.js: Failed to connect to remote host

    I decided to try telneting to Vert. I got "!ERROR -1 (49) binding to socket telgate.js: Failed to connect to remote host

    I shut down SBBS and rebooted my server and tried again. Same errors while trying RLOGIN and TELNET outbound from the BBS. I chatted with a few other Synchronet Sysops running 3.2, and we compared settings, nothing worked to resolve the issue on my end.

    I rolled back to 3.19 and I am able to RLOGIN and TELNET outbound from Synchronet now.

    (I did try outbound on my game server just for S&G and it worked fine)

    Any help/ideas/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you,

    What do you have set for OutboundInterface in your ctrl/sbbs.ini file?

    I had 0.0.0.0 set for outbound. I think I am going to setup another VM and copy my SBBS over on a test VM and try the update again. I panicked and rolled it back to 3.19.
