Hi Danny,
If your using a laptop computer to access Echo Link, the problem is that the
ports that echo link needs open are not usually open by default. The IPhone
and IPad use a work around to get around this problem.
On your home computer, you need to open ports 5198, 5199 and 5200 for echo
link to work properly.

Subject: I Really_ Fail To Understand-----Can Anyone Here Help?
Hi All, I have a question concerning Echo Link, and wonder if any of you =
who are well versed with this mode, can help me out here???
*Goal, to be able to participate in Echolink from different locations =
including my own home area, and other WY FI "hotspots, via WY-FI =
Internet Access, through the Echo Link APP, which I've downloaded to my =
third generation IPod Touch, complete with "earbudded, ptt enabled mic.
So why do I have to set Echolink up, on a home computer, which I never =
intend to access echolink with? I have no problem with doing the "paper =
work" via that home computer, and having the WY-FI router/modems' =
software/hardware set up with whatever ports closed, opened, etc. =20
***But the actual "echolinking" is to be done on the "Touch, and its' =
"earbudded/PTT enabled mic, via the IPpod/IPhone APP, wherever I happen =
to be.
*I've lost two hard drives on two different computers to fatal crashes =
since last summer, and would just as soon _____Only use the IPpod for =
this and some other applications. Can somebody give me some solid help =
here? And please forgive me if the questions' been covered in depth =
somewhere else before;
But Anne Margaret an actress and recording artist from another erra, =
recorded a song in the early sixties, the title of which, "***I Just =
Don't Understand," really expresses my sentiments here, accurately:
Thanks, Danny Dyer, Wb4idu.
