Hi. Anyone out there know anything about BPALogin? It is a login client for Bigpond Australia cable that uses a heartbeat to keep the connection up. I connect ok but ehn get disconnected because the heartbeat is not being accepted. Can anyone give me a clue what might be happening?
These are extracts from my daemon log showing a successful connection, disconnection and reconnection. Feb 19 12:31:42 firewall bpalogin[3213]: BPALogin v2.0.2 - portable BigPond Broadband login client Feb 19 12:31:42 firewall bpalogin[3213]: Auth host = 61.9.240.13:5050 Feb 19 12:31:42 firewall bpalogin[3213]: Listening on port 5050 Feb 19 12:31:43 firewall bpalogin[3213]: Will accept heartbeats from sm-server = 255.255.255.255 Feb 19 12:31:43 firewall bpalogin[3213]: Logged on as dpitts - successful at Thu Feb 19 12:31:43 2004 Feb 19 12:42:12 firewall bpalogin[3213]: Received a heartbeat from unexpected source 61.9.240.13:5051 Feb 19 12:42:12 firewall bpalogin[3213]: Badly structured packet received - discarding Feb 19 12:47:19 firewall bpalogin[3213]: Received a heartbeat from unexpected source 61.9.240.13:5051 Feb 19 12:47:19 firewall bpalogin[3213]: Badly structured packet received - discarding Feb 19 12:52:32 firewall bpalogin[3213]: Received a heartbeat from unexpected source 61.9.240.13:5051 Feb 19 12:52:32 firewall bpalogin[3213]: Badly structured packet received - discarding Feb 19 12:59:32 firewall bpalogin[3213]: Timed out waiting for heartbeat - logging on Feb 19 12:59:32 firewall bpalogin[3213]: Will accept heartbeats from sm-server = 255.255.255.255 Feb 19 12:59:32 firewall bpalogin[3213]: Logged on as dpitts - successful at Thu Feb 19 12:59:32 2004 This looks pretty straight forward to me in that the messages seem to indicate the client doesn't like something about the heartbeat that the server is sending, so its not accepting it. Is there anything I can do from my end to fix that or is it a server side problem? If anyone knows anything about BPAlogin, I would be very pleased to hear from you. Thanks.
