   Hello Marc!   
      
   16 Dec 20 18:52, you wrote to all:   
      
    ML> In the sample for the NODES.CFG the line reads:

    ML> What does the * signify?   
      
   DNS lookup via the default domain, which should be set to binkp.net.   
      
    ML> Is there or is there not a space before the password?   
      
   Yes.

   You should configure your tosser to set the appropriate flavor for each node.   
      
    ML> What do I do with the 2 Points I have that do not have an internet

    ML> them looks like this:   
      
    ML> node 1:396/45.27 0.0.0.0; xxxxxxx h   
    ML> node 1:396/45.28 0.0.0.0; xxxxxxx h   
      
   Use a - as a placeholder indicating the node has no hostname or IP address.   
      
    ML> The only thing I could think of to put for an address was the 0.0.0.0.   
    ML> Is this correct?  On that same 2 lines you can see what I was asking   
    ML> about for the password; is that leading space supposed to be there -   
      
   The semicolon character shouldn't be there unless a node has more than 1    
   hostname.  BinkD is probably interpreting the password as a second hostname    
   for that node, and using the flavor as a password.   
      
    ML> My configuration reads:   
      
    ML> domain fidonet Q:\\fido_out 1   
      
    ML> Not sure that that "1" is for. (?)   
      
   The 1 indicates the zone for files in your default outbound.  With this    
   configuration, files for Zone 2 would be in Q:\fido_out.002.   
      
    ML> The tree of that directory looks like this:   
      
    ML> +--Fido_Out   
    ML>     +--filehold   
    ML>     +--Out   
    ML>          +--018C002D.PNT   
    ML>     +--OUT.002   
    ML>     +--OUT.003   
    ML>     +--OUT.004   
    ML>     +--OUT.005   
    ML>     +--OUT.006   
      
   With it setup like this, you need the following:   
      
   domain fidonet Q:\\Fido_Out\\Out 1   
      
   BinkD should see the Out. directories for the other FidoNet zones, as    
   well as the 018C002D.PNT subdirectory for your points off of 1:396/45.
