   Hi Tony!   
      
   03 Jul 2019 14:40, from Tony Langdon -> All:   
      
    TL> + 03 Jul 14:27:02 [16166] getaddrinfo failed: Servname not supported   
    TL> for ai_socktype (-8)   
      
   Indeed strange ... ai_socktype should be TCP/UDP:   
   ai_socktype   
   This field specifies the preferred socket type, for example SOCK_STREAM or   
   SOCK_DGRAM.  Specifying 0 in this field indicates that socket addresses of any   
   type can be returned by getaddrinfo().   
      
   I do not think it has something to do with BinkD.   
   It is just an error that your OS (Linux?) reports back to BinkD.   
   The question is why ... to be honest I have no clue.   
   Easiest would be to hardcode an IPv4 address ... that should work by   
   eliminating the DNS query.   
      
   If you want to get to the bottom of this you could use ltrace to trace what   
   calls are done, and take a look what is in the call that fails.   
      
   It could also be an IPv4/IPv6 issue maybe??   
      
   Keep us informed ...
