Hi Nicholas,

On 2015-10-05 16:22:44, you wrote to me:

Maybe he should change to a nodenumber in your net!?

He isn't reachable by the information provided in the nodelist at all (the host
name doesn't resolve).

If he wants to be directly reachable he should fix that. Or if that's not an
option his nodelist entry should become Pvt, or he should become a point.

There are several solutions, but as it is, the current nodelist entry is wrong,
and should be fixed.

I've already send him an email.


Bye, Wilfred.
