is RR or your router blocking those ports somewhere?

Hi;
I have been fiddling with echo link with little success.  I believe the 
necessary ports are enabled.  When I open the program I see a list of 
available stations and when I try and connect I simply time out.  When I 
time out, however, I get audio and cw back from echo link stating that I 
have timed out so it would "seem" that info is going both ways.
I ran the diagnostic program, however, and was informed that the udp port 
5198 failed.
I think I'm stumped.

Hi Richard.

Remember that with dynamic tcpip your machines address can change.

This could cause the problem.

If you opened the ports for 192.168.0.100 and your machines address changes 
because of a reboot or another machine having been on that is not now and 
you have rebooted the dhcp server in the router can
give your machine a different address.

So if it now becomes 192.168.0.101 the ports are not opened for that 
address.

Going in to the router and changing the address in the port forwarding 
screen will fix thsat if that is your problem.

Of course if your router supports port triggering instead of port forwarding 
it might be better to use that since the router will find you when the 
echolink requests come in.
