  • Got my 1st packet with BinkD...

    From Phoobar@21:2/147 to All on Wednesday, May 06, 2020 21:09:31
    Was playing around with BinkD this evening. Started it up & got a packet from one of my hubs (not sure which one...but saw OUTBOUND.015 sitting in the FastEcho folder). The rest of the hubs just timed out...while BinkD had this error message..."SOCKET OPERATION ON NON-SOCKET".

    1 packet came through & getting another error message. I am stoked that I am making headway in whatever direction it is. ;)

    Hello Phoobar,

    Was playing around with BinkD this evening. Started it up & got a
    packet from one of my hubs (not sure which one...but saw OUTBOUND.015 sitting in the FastEcho folder). The rest of the hubs just timed out...while BinkD had this error message..."SOCKET OPERATION ON NON-SOCKET".

    I wish I had an OS/2 box to play with this stuff.

    As far as OUTBOUND.015, that is where my stuff for fsxNet goes, so that looks good.

    I'm not sure what that socket non-socket stuff is about. I have never seen that.

    1 packet came through & getting another error message. I am stoked
    that I am making headway in whatever direction it is. ;)

    Kplah!

    Ttyl :-),

    I wish I had an OS/2 box to play with this stuff.

    Sean Dennis has a copy of 4.52 already set up for VirtualBox which works
    great. If you want to start from scratch...the ISO's are available on I
    believe archive.org...but Sean's has the VB drivers installed.

    As far as OUTBOUND.015, that is where my stuff for fsxNet goes, so that looks good.

    Have this weekend off...so am hoping to do some testing to get out.

    I'm not sure what that socket non-socket stuff is about. I have never
    seen that.

    Found quite a bit of info on this with Citrix & a few things with BINKD.
    Looks like it's something to do with a path.
