Hi Harry,

OK, now you're getting somewhere.  Explore some of those settings. 
Especially anything to do with Firewall.  Under the firewall, there may be a 
port forwarding option as there is with my Linksys or maybe there is some 
sort of advanced link or maybe it would just be something like settings.  If 
you are persistent enough, you should find it.

When you eventually reach the port forwarding page, you will see a bunch of 
edit fields and combo boxes or some such similar items.  You will have to 
select the UDP setting (UDP, TCP and some other one are the possible 
choices.) You will then have to type the port ranges into the edit fields. 
For the lower you would type 5198 and for the higher you would type 5199. 
This part is pretty simple.  If you try with some other software, then you 
may have to set individual ranges and individual ports--meaning that you 
might need to do several references to the same program.  This is not the 
case for Echo Link.

One other thing: some firewall/router configurations actually give you 
program field so you can customize the forwarding to individual programs. 
This is good for security--since if another program tries accessing the 
opened ports, it won't be able to do so--thus cutting down on the amount of 
damage that Trojans and viruses can do.  In the case of my Linksys, all you 
have to do is type in the program name.  In some other routers, you may have 
to type the path to the program executable.

Good luck.
