Scanning JAM areas ...

Can't export message in area HNET_TEST without active downlinks.

Scanning Squish areas ...

I've got node, seen-by and export set. What could I be doing wrong? I've
had this before and I have no clue what I did to fix it...

Well, I don't know much about fastecho, but the error says you can't /export/ message in area HNET_TEST without /active downlinks/.

So, I would imagine, if you don't have any active downlinks for that area, you don't need to export anything for it (ie: unset export, since you said you set it).

Regards,
Nick

Export to is set, and that's the downlinks. Turns out I think it was a VM error. I'd changed some settings, but they hadn't taken effect.

As you can see, I DO have downlinks set... What could I possibly be doing wrong? I've tried removing export to, but that gives the same error. My VM often ignores obvious changes that I've definitely made and no one has any
idea why... That's all I can think is going on.

Is that link 954:895/2 active?

Ok, again I delete my directory structure, recreated it and everything
started working again. VMs are weird.
