Ok, I've got some WEIRD problems here. My conn test (IE fping) is failing on the BBNET server itself! It's going red for no apparent reason. Here's the results of the page back to me:
red Mon Nov 7 02:00:25 2005 conn NOT ok
Service conn on 123.123.123.123 is not OK : Host does not respond to ping
Have you tried running fping on the BBNET server using both the hostname and the IP address ? Hobbit uses the hostname, and if that gets resolved to something other than the IP address you expect, strange things can happen.
A telltale sign is if the IP address reported in the "conn" status is something other than what you would expect.
Does it also fail if you login to the BBNET server and run
bbcmd bbtest-net --debug --ping HOSTNAME.OF.BBNET.SERVER
The debug output includes any errors that Hobbit has when trying to run fping. It also saves some fping-std* files in the ~hobbit/server/tmp/ directory - those might be interesting to look at.
