Re: Re: Duplicate nodelist/infopack received

Just wanted to let you know that I've received the latest HOBBYNET.ZIP and HOBBYNET.044 twice for unknown reasons.

Once last night (Feb 12th) at 11:15 PM, CST
Again this morning (Feb 13th) at 4:01 AM, CST

HEY!!!! I only got ONE copy. :-)

Dan is special!

This same thing happened again last night, at nearly the identical times. I'm
sure I can't be the only one getting things twice...

Is it possible that maybe you have two net/node numbers set up on your hub
and don't know it?

I only *seem* to be getting it once... one of each. That said, I do not
seem to have an entry for it in my tickit.ini file so I have no idea how
tickit seems to know where to put them, or to "replace" them if I accidentally get two!

Hmmmm, I suppose that is possible, and is actually a question for Mike Dippel...

Mike, remember I used to just have a node number - 954:895/xxx (can't
recall those last digits now). Then when I became a hub... did that
first entry get removed? So now I am 954:200/0 and 954:200/1 ...

Could you check that you're not sending to the (old/incorrect) address,
and only to the 954:200/1 address? Thank you.

And thanks, Mike, for that insight. ;-)

Now that's unusual, indeed! Wouldn't seem like tickit would do anything
with them.

That is just a wild guess on my part. Be interesting if that is the issue
as it'd be easy to fix.

I will have to look it over when I get more time. It must be in there somewhere and I am just overlooking it. But it is working as I think it
should so I don't want to break it. ;)

Yep, it would be.

Hahaha, I hear that!

This should tell something: grep HNET /sbbs/ctrl/tickit.ini

Well, I am receiving them twice, about 5 hours apart, from your

system.

That right there is the problem. Should be easy enough to confirm

in

your logs that the files were sent out twice. The question is *WHY*

are

they being sent out twice?

As Mike asked, is anyone else seeing this? Please speak up if you

are.

Mike, as I said in another message last night (as a reply to

somebody

else), is it possible that I am in your nodelist/database twice? I

used

to have a different node number...

Sorry. I can't see it on my log files. Can you tell me the date

and

times and I can check again.

February 12th at 12:15 AM (EST)
February 13th at 5:01 AM (EST)

I only keep log files for 7 days so I can't check it. If it happens
again, I can check it if you provide me the info.

Well, the above reference was for Feb 12/13. It happened again the following week (Feb 19/20) which is what was stated right here in this message thread. So.... the 19/20 events should still be visible in the logs, right?

How can I be the only one noticing this?

I don't see it because I am getting the network via QWK.
