I'm trying to set up as a network hub, and I'm having problems enabling the nodes to receive AREAFIX requests.

I have the appropriate "Additional Echo List" put in, but am confused about
the other areas it asks for: Hub address (should this be MY address), Forward password, Forward requests, and Echolist Flags.

I'm entering the following into each area:

Hub Address: mine
Forward password: NONE
Forward requests: YES
Echolist Flags: VQ

Thanks

No, that should be your uplink.

Forward password, Forward requests, and Echolist Flags.

I'm entering the following into each area:

Hub Address: mine
Forward password: NONE
Forward requests: YES
Echolist Flags: VQ

If you don't have an uplink (you are the master hub), then you don't want or need to be forwarding requests anywhere. Otherwise, set the Hub Address to your uplink's address and set the forward password to your Areafix password on your hub.
