Hello,

I have a node that's connected to me in another network that is complaining that Areafix is not working.

Is there a specific level I should configure to fix this?

I see later replies to your message (before mine) which include a REPLY kludge line referencing your message's message-ID (21:1/146 936c6b97), so that is strange. I wonder if you could somehow look at this message in your message base to see what you can find?

That's odd, in my message base the message "Areafix" has an id of
21:1/146 c536cc11 and there are no replys..

The message before it which is subject of "RAR" in my message base has
21:1/146 936c6b97

Strange.

It's the "RAR" message I was actually referring to. But neither of Nighthawk's messages here have a Message-ID. :-/

I see that too - no a REPLY kludge for the one that starts with "RE: " and quotes existing text.

In any case you can do a %list request to areafix and make sure you are connected to the area you expect to be. There are new areas also in that list that you may find interesting so go ahead and get conneceted to whatever areas (mail or files) you want to be connected to.

Hi all

NET 1,3,4 are running HPT so areafix commands differ a little from Mystic.

My advice is to send a %HELP to your HUB to confirm the best commands to use
to rescan etc. :)

NET 2 is running Mystic to toss packets at present but will likely change to HPT in time as well.
