Just edit that file. Once the edits are done, do systemctl restart qnlink.

Personally, I would link the two repeaters to an XRF reflector. If you only wanted a reflector for linking, that would be easy enough to set up, then just link all systems to the same XRF reflector and module. Essentially, that would link the repeaters. I¡¯ve never tested linking one repeater directly to another.
HI Colby, Thank you. I found out the problem. Everytime I program the ID-4100, MY Callsign is being erase and that was the reason I could get into my hotspot and gateway.? How do I update the repeater's host file on the Qnetgateway. Our group is asking me if we could link to another repeater.

Make sure you¡¯re using the correct CQCQCQ. In order to pass the reflector, you¡¯ll have to either program the radio with a Your call of CQCQCQ, or go into the menu and select the Use Reflector CQCQCQ.
I set my ID-51 to transmit to the repeater, the repeater is link to the XRF reflector and my hot spot will display that I am transmitting, but when I use my new mobile same set up, the repeater will response but it will not go thru the XRF link.? Please advice.

Hi Colby,
How do I add repeater on the host files? I was a member of the PAPA System and we were instructed and informed that after you link their repeater to the reflector or other repeater that you are responsible to unlink them, so I was thinking their system is open. I will ask them on the next meeting. Thank you.

The problem is likely the repeater is not in your host files. Repeaters generally are not, only reflectors. It could also be, as Will stated, that the repeater owner is disallowing users linking directly to it.
It's possible for repeater owners to lock down their repeaters for linking to and may want you to link to reflectors only.

Hi Colby, I have no problem linking to another reflector, like REFxxx, but I tried linking to the Papa System repeater and repeater on the dstar list on my radio but was not able to link. Please advice.
