Hello everybody!

I'm getting this error message and I can't figure out why? I have the file DOSXTRN.exe in my /exec and windows/system32 path so it should be seen by SBBS. Anyone have an idea what the problem is?

"term Node 1 <RickV> DOSXTRN Error 2 (No such file or directory) executing:"

Thanks,
RickV

The error doesn't mean that DOSXTRN.exe couldn't be found, instead it means the program that DOSXTRN was asked to execute could not be found (the program after the colon in that log messsage). Is there nothing after the colon in the error message?

It looks to me that nothing is running. Here's the before it runs and after log.

Thanks, RickV

whenever you have a problem you need to post your scfg settings. otherwise it's a lot of back and forth. there's also no reason for dosxtrn to run
for that.

Hello everybody!

I'm getting this error message and I can't figure out why? I

have

the file DOSXTRN.exe in my /exec and windows/system32 path so

it

should be seen by SBBS. Anyone have an idea what the problem

is?

"term Node 1 <RickV> DOSXTRN Error 2 (No such file or

The error doesn't mean that DOSXTRN.exe couldn't be found,

instead it

means the program that DOSXTRN was asked to execute could not

be found

(the program after the colon in that log messsage). Is there

nothing

after the colon in the error message?

The problem was I have the ?rlogon in the clean-up line, not the command line. Works fine now...But not sure what this !telgate error is?

Winsock error 54 is "connection reset by peer" - so the other end of the connection reset it (disconnected you).

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winsock/windows-sockets-error-codes-2 (see 10054).

Also, it's considered polite to start a new thread for new problems.
