    I run a Mystic system on one computer in my home network. I am trying to setup Synchronet on another computer in the same network.

    I can successfully connect to the Mystic system by logging into it by using the IP address, but I can't do an areafix to an IP address. If I try to connect to the Mystic system as it's web address, it won't connect.

    In Synchronet's config, is there some way to define the Mystic system so that I can send an areafix?

    Does the Mystic system have a different FTN address than the Synchronet config? If so, add that Mystic system's FTN address to echocfg->Linked Nodes and set it's BinkP hostname or IP address so that BinkIT (the FTN mailer that comes with Synchronet) can send netmail to it.

    There's nothing special about areafix netmail messages from a sender's perspective - it's just a netmail message like any other.
