    Hello all,

    I have Dovenet QWK setup and operating without issue. I belong to a second QWK network (Micronet). I set it up exactly like Dovenet is setup, but I am getting the following error when trying to connect to the FTP site:

    11/21 08:28:05a Semaphore signaled for QWK Network Hub: CAPCITY2

    11/21 08:28:05a QWK Network call-out: CAPCITY2
    11/21 08:28:05a QNET-FTP: CAPCITY2 CAPCITY2 capitolcityonline.net {my pswd}
    11/21 08:28:05a QNET-FTP: Connecting to CAPCITY2:21 ...
    11/21 08:28:08a QNET-FTP: !socket_connect failed socket_error=0
    11/21 08:28:08a QNET-FTP: Done.

    Any idea why I get a socket connect failure?

    Thank you.
    Joe

    Your QWK call-out command line for this message network probably looks something like this:

    *qnet-ftp %s %s capitolcityonline.net password

    Remove one of the two '%s' entries near the start of that.

    You're trying to connect to "CAPCITY2", which is not a valid Internet hostname. Sounds like your QWKnet call-out command-line is wrong in SCFG->Networks->QWK->Hubs->CAPCITY2.
