I'm just not sure where the actual error is. Any idea?

Looks like you have your BinkpHost value for that linked node set to a FTN address rather than an IP address or hostname. Double-check that setting in echocfg->Linked Nodes->1:153/757->BinkP Settings->Host. It's supposed to be a hostname or IP address.

I changed that to the IP address from Alan's board, and still am getting the error Immediately after hitting

The error you reported before was:

Connection to 1:153/757:24554 failed (Error: No such host is known. ).

You're saying you're still getting that same error message? Please be more specific.

No, I am not getting that error anymore. The error II am getting now is when I send netmail ((or even echomail) I immediately get a binkout error with failed password. After that, the mail gets sent out and goes out correctly without error as is shown in mail #1094

The message number ("mail #1094") is only relevant on your system. Since this is a networked message base, your messages have different numbers on different BBSes (including this one).

Anyway, perhaps check with your uplink, as them to review their binkp server log and see if that provides any insight. And as always, providing the relevant log/error messages in your posts/replies here would be helpful.
