This brings up a question I've been meaning to ask.  If you are using a router and open up the appropriate ports in order for echolink to work, should you
close them again when you're through with echolink in order to protect your machine against outside intruders etc.?

Wouldn't leaving them open defeat the firewall protection provided by a router?

Thanks,

Hi Everyone;

Thank you, all of you for your suggestions.

My friend Tony came over and now ECHOLINK works just fine.

We needed to tell the modem to let ECHOLINK use the ports.

Thanks again to everyone.
