>   3.. Click the Forwarding tab.

>   5.. In the first pair of Service Port Range (or Ext.Port) boxes along
the
> top, enter 5198 and 5199.
>   6.. On the same line, under Protocol, choose UDP (or check the UDP box).
>   7.. On the same line, enter the local IP address of the computer running
> EchoLink.  (If you are not sure what the address is, run "winipcfg" or
> "ipconfig" from a command prompt).

your
