I'm having issues with adding tqwnet to my BBS.

I've been allocated address 1337:1/132 and my host is 1337:1/100.

I'm running sbbs 3.22 and the remote is Mystic 1.12A49.

We have set up a session password with MD5 auth.

When I poll the 1337:1/100 I get a password error, when 1337:1/100 polls it it works fine.

One thing I do note in the Mystic logs (when I poll the remote) is that my BBS 1337 zone is not being declared - see the logs below:

```

I do have the address set up in Fidonet network settings (msgs.ini):

```
[FidoNet]
addr_list=2:250/3,21:1/205,39:136/3,46:20/111,80:774/4,316:36/56,1337:1/132 ```

And in linked nodes I have set up this:

```
[node:1337:1/100]
Name = tqwNet
Comment =
Archive = ZIP
PacketType = 2+
PacketPwd =
AreaFix = false
AreaFixPwd =
SessionPwd = REDACTED
TicFilePwd =
Inbox =
Outbox =
Passive = false
Direct = false
Notify = false

GroupHub =
BinkpHost = hub.uk.erb.pw
BinkpPort = 24554
BinkpPoll = true
BinkpPlainAuthOnly = false
BinkpAllowPlainAuth = false
BinkpAllowPlainText = true
BinkpTLS = false
BinkpSourceAddress = 1337:1/132
```

Please let me know if any additional info is required.

usually these problems stem from defining or not defining a fidonet domain for the linked node in echocfg.

I've just tried adding "tqwnet" to the domain setting and that didn't help. I've removed it again for now.

Adding "tqwnet" to which domain setting?

Looking at the event log you provided, you already had it in the Linked Node configuration: `callout to 1337:1/100@tqwnet started Sep 25`, so I'm not sure what you added where.

Provide screenshots from echocfg->linked nodes or snippets from sbbecho.ini might help. We need more information to help you.

echocfg, being a text program, you could use copy/paste the text of the interface rather than screen/image capture (for future knowledge).

Anyway, the "domain" field is blank there.

I added the domain that I removed back in "tqwnet", and compiled the latest code and restarted services and now it works just fine.

Not sure which of the above fixed it....
