Bill,
Thanks for your efforts in this. You are the 4th person I have encountered that has had EXTREME difficulty in configuring for echolink. I am still one of them myself. I finally gave up until I figure I have to use it for something important. Let me look into this somemore and see if I can at least get my system working with it and I'll let you know what I did to get it working. In the meantime, I have forwarded this email to our AMSAT-FLORIDA list in hopes that someone will answer as Scott did who might have another angle on this. I really hope we can find a solution so we can have you as a guest on the net.
I'll be in touch,
Dave, AA4KN

David, thanks for the invitation to speak to the net. Scott, thanks for helping me try to configure Echolink. Unfortunately, I can't get Echolink to work. I've called my provider and followed the instructions at portforwarding.com and echolink.org to the best of my ability, but no success.

Thanks, David. I had set up Echolink with no problem 2 years ago at a prior QTH. Interestingly, the latest version is supposed to work on most nodes even without port forwarding, but here it is not working on any node even with port forwarding configured. I was not able to establish a static IP address, called my ISP as suggested in the instructions to get the DNS servers but they were unable or unwilling to provide them.

I may be able you fix this problem,but there is some information that I need to help you. 1. What type of antivirus software are you using? 2. Are you using a fire wall on the pc windows or the one in the anti virus program? 3. What type of modem do you have ie: westel etc.? I assume that you are using bellsouth for your connection. 4. Are you using a router and if so what brand?

I have a Mac and use Echo Mac but the problems are the same. The problem I have is that the router in my house assigns local IP numbers automatically on request. Any time you reset it for any reason the IP's assigned to a particular computer may change. Then you have to go in and revise the IP numbers in the Port range forwarding list to match the new IP number assigned to that particular computer. The only way to get around that is to set your router and computer to configure the various computers on your net work to get their IP numbers manually. Then you are in charge and they won't change every time you have to reset your router.

A quick easy way around all of this is to use one of the open Echolink proxy servers. No port issues. I use them frequently at work where I don't have access to the router configuration. Works good with public WiFi internet at hotels, etc... Not quite as good at a direct connection but no one can tell the difference when I'm connected this way.
