John,

Let me add a note from Randy's post....

What Linksys router do you have?

The reason I ask is some of them don't yet have the updated UPNP firmware to
allow them to handle Network Address Translation.  You'll know if your router
has it if you can transfer files or voice-chat over MSN Messenger.

One thing the Echolink site says is aht some satellite services with NAT won't
work.
