The QWK conference numbers on your QWKnet *hub* (e.g. VERT for DOVE-Net) are 
(normally) *different* than the QWK conference numbers that your BBS exposes to 
your users (or any downstream QWK nodes). Unless your system is itself a QWKnet 
hub, then your sub-boards in SCFG->Message Areas should all be configured to 
use "dynamic" QWK conference numbering and then such collisions as you 
described (2017 being used for multiple QWK nets) won't be an issue.

It sounds like you've confiugred some sub-boards to use static QWK conference 
numbering and should not have.
