    1:116/18 is my main Mystic system.
    1:261/20 is my system running SearchLight and ViaMail/SL 2.0.

    I have verified the same packet password on both setups, but am still getting this error message. I believe this was all working on A39, and nothing has changed configuration wise. Any thoughts?

    have you looked in the raw pkts to see if the password is correct in the pkt header? you can use most any viewer that will show binary... the passwords are easy to spot if they are there... starting with the first byte being zero (as any good coder does), the password is the 26th through 33rd bytes...

    It is correct. Now it seems to be working and I didn't really change
    anything.
