Trouble Shooting Synchronet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unregistered DSZ
----------------
Problem:
Batch uploads and Ymodem-G don't work.
Solution:
Synchronet is distributed with an unregistered shareware copy of
DSZ.COM to allow the beginning to sysop to start out with the three
basic protocols, Xmodem, Ymodem, and Zmodem. To use Ymodem-G and batch
uploads, you must use a registered copy of DSZ.COM (or EXE).
See DSZ.DOC for more information on registering DSZ.
PKZIP.EXE not in EXEC directory
-------------------------------
Problem:
Can't create QWK packets or temporary archive files.
Solution:
Synchronet comes configured for PKZIP as the temporary file (and QWK
packet) compression method. In order for this to function correctly,
you must have a copy of PKZIP.EXE in your SBBS\EXEC directory, or
change the Temporary Archive Command Line to exclude the '%!' specifier
(short hand for the exec directory), or specify the directory where
PKZIP.EXE resides. See CONFIG.DOC for more information.
PKUNZIP.EXE not in EXEC directory
---------------------------------
Problem:
Can't view ZIP files online and can't upload files because the fail
the ZIP integrity test.
Solution:
You must copy PKUNZIP.EXE into your SBBS\EXEC directory, or change
the command lines to reflect the actual location of PKUNZIP.EXE.
See CONFIG.DOC for more information.
HSLINK.EXE and BIMODEM.COM not in EXEC directory
------------------------------------------------
Problem:
HS/Link and BiModem don't work. "Bad command or filename" is displayed
when a user tries to use them.
Solution:
You need to copy HSLINK.EXE and BIMODEM.COM into your SBBS\EXEC
directory. BiModem must have a BIMODEM.CFG file in each node directory.
Run BICONFIG to create/change the configuration information stored in
BIMODEM.CFG. Refer to the BiModem documentation for more information on
this file and using BICONFIG. One important note for BiModem
configuration is that "Allow remote file requests" be set to "NO".
Nodes Sharing Temp Directory
----------------------------
Problem:
Get a "Removing" file error when starting up SBBS, at logon, and at
logoff sometimes when another node is active.
Solution:
You have more than one node using the same directory as the temp
directory. You must have a unique temp directory for each node.
Configure a unique temp directory for each node in the config program
(type SCFG from the node directory or hit 'C' at the wait for call
screen). See CONFIG.DOC for more information.
Modem Connect Result Codes Not Configured
-----------------------------------------
Problem:
When answering calls, Synchronet displays "Invalid result code: xx"
where xx is a decimal number, and hangs-up on the caller.
Solution:
Add this result code to your node's result code list in the config
program (type SCFG from the node directory or hit 'C' at the wait for
call screen). DO NOT add result codes 0, 2, 3, or 4. Refer to your
modem's manual for the connect speed and average transfer CPS for
the new result code. See CONFIG.DOC for more information.
