How did you verify they are open? Because:

1:124/0 pbmystic.rdfig.net:24555  75.87.11.243  Ok.
1:124/5009  fmlynet.dyndns.org  - Error: Cannot getaddrinfo - Name or service 
not known
1:124/5014  pbmystic.rdfig.net:24555  75.87.11.243  Ok.
1:124/5015  pbmystic.rdfig.net:24555  75.87.11.243  No such AKA.

If you use the same host name, there is your problem: It doesn't exist 
anymore...

You can also dump node 1:124/5009 from the nodelist. And you need to fix your 
AKA's in your binkd config or remove node 5015 from the nodelist.


Bye, Wilfred.
