[arm-allstar] not connecting to certain nodes - node table database file

Mon Jun 15 20:04:49 EDT 2020

David,

 First of all you often get miss-information from users here. They mean
well but don't understand the system. I say again there is a very high
percentage chance this is NOT your problem and since it is not there is
nothing you can do about it. Quite likely the node you are trying to
connect to has bad routing info back to you which again is NOT your
problem. ASL nodes which are in the minority at this point still use an
antiquated file lookup system for routing and their registration system
often has problems.

When things like this happen use the BUBBLE button on Supermon. Put 2585 in
the box and hit BUBBLE - you will see there are two additional hubs
connected to that node (47918 and 47620) so there is no reason you need to
connect directly. You have to work around problems like this. Do not start
messing with your system it is not the problem.

BTW, do you know the person that runs the node you are trying to connect
to? How about emailing them and asking them if there is any reason you
cannot connect. Hubs often ban problem nodes. I am not saying you are a
problem but it is a possibility.
