[Xastir] newby got himself in trouble

[Mike Fenske]

Hi Mike.
 Well you could delete your ~/.xastir/config/xastir.cnf file. This is where all your configuration information is stored (also might be a couple of back-ups xastir.cnf.1, xastir.cnf.2..)BUT then you will have to re-configure everything.

Do you still have data coming in? (have a look at the View->Incoming Data window, make sure NET or NET&TNC is selected).

If so, look in the Station->Filter Data menu. Make sure that "Select None" is UN-checked. You should have at least the following checked: Select Mine, Select Net, Select Stations & everything below it. If you have a tnc connected, then you will also want Select TNC, Select Direct, Select via Digi.

Hope this helps,
