YP Directory broken or wrong?

the DNAS can run without having to be listed in the Directory, so that aspect failing doesn't prevent people (you) still being able to connect to the DNAS and so listen to the stream.

without a config file to verify, i don't know if it is wrong or not. as i don't know if your host has changed the file or are using the same one and it's something else which was done.

as i've already said, it uses 'portbase' from the config file or 8000 if it is not present in the config file which is specified to be used. as i'm not 100% on what platform version of the DNAS is being used, it could be sc_serv.ini or sc_serv.conf or any custom name the host has decided upon to use.

i don't know why it's not working but having had something changed (whatever they did) would make me wonder what was done as it running fine until then doesn't match with _any_ changes having been also made to the YP in the timescale that you seem to have had issues.

maybe it is a YP issue or even a DNAS issue (anything is possible with a legacy v1 DNAS) but as you're host is using the legacy v1 DNAS, there's little i can get to be changed in the config to have it target a specific YP server so i can then try to determine the issue (not without them changing firewall rules). then again, doing that would cause you more potentially impact than you're already having.


so i don't know what to say / suggest as unless your host provider gets in contact with me (my email address is at the bottom of here) or someone can provide me with a copy of the config file being used so it can be verified / tested with, there's little i can do for the time being.
