   Hi all,   
      
   I'm new to BBSing, well not new, new to 2024-2025 since I rn a C64 and Amiga    
   BBS back in the 80s. Now I'm running CNet, great system. I want to connect to    
   a bunch of the FTNs, I'm using PiNet to start with because it's small.   
      
   I have the config file filled out with the info I got for PiNet, I start    
   amibinkd with a script and it does start, but when it gets to the node I need    
   to contact, it comes back with host unknown. I'm using a real Amiga, with a    
   Firebird Accellerator and Amiga OS 3.2.2 with AMITCP and MiamiDX. I can ping    
   everywhere. I can use iBrowse no problem. I can use FTP no problem. When I use   
   amibinkd it just dies and says host unknown. I tried replacing the hostname    
   with it's corresponding IP address but that gives me a socket function no    
   implemented error (or something like that). Does anyone know what I'm doing    
   wrong here? Does the bink port have to be on my router and forwarded back to    
   my amiga in order for an amiga initiatiated amibinkd to succeed? I'm using    
   DHCP and like I said everything else seems to work network-wise and I'm not    
   perplexed.   
      
   Any help would be greatly appreciated....
