  • PiNet / RetroNet connection

    From Dan Clough@1:135/115 to All on Wed Apr 9 11:24:24 2025
    Hello all,

    Anybody else unable to connect to PiNet and RetroNet mail hubs for the last few days? I'm getting "Bad address or password" from both of these, and haven't changed anything on my end. Somehow I don't have an email contact for them - if anyone does could you let them know this is happening?

    Regards,
    Dan

    Seems ok. When I try to connect to retronet it uses that password.

    spitfiretn@gmail.com is the contact for these networks for me at least.

    That looks like a failure to me... confusing log entries.

    Okay thanks, will email him. Still cannot connect to either network and
    have changed nothing on my side.



    ... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.

    You're right. I had the wrong node in my echocfg. I fixed it and it looks fine now.
