Torben,

   When your public IP address changes you should check your echolink database sometime after (15-30 minutes)  to see if the IP address for your node has changed to the new address. If it has then that would indicate that it is updating properly. If not then maybe there is a code problem with the IP address change. My public IP does not change so I do not see the problem. Also check the database for stations you cannot connect to. You could also do a check on a windows computer to compare the results. There are sites where you can enter echolink node numbers or calls and see if it is online and other details.

You could also detect the IP address change and restart asterisk shortly after in a script. Not the best solution but it might work.

Also I am sure you know this but you cannot use more than one echolink connection on one public IP address unless you use a proxy. The port forwarding is to only one computer behind your router and in this case it would be your Allstar server.

hi doug,
i will try if the problem come the next time. i think the problem is that the "database" don`t update any more. here in europe we get a new IP Adress every 24h from our provider and if the database-update don`t run any more then i
 have wrong IPs to the Calls
so i find out that if i connect to Call DB0CUX i get an answer from VK2XYZ or... i hope i can explain the problem with my english :-/

greetings and many tnx for your help

Torben,

  I went back and looked at your original message and you talked about a database problem. I messaged back the method to check the echolink database. Did you do that? Is the call/IP address of the echolink station you want to call in your local database? If
 you are not getting the database it isn't going to work.

echolink dbget c WA3DSP-L

The call has to be exact including case but you can do 

echolink dbdump  

to see the entire database. It is hard to see in the client mode so at linux prompt do...

asterisk -rx "echolink dbdump" | more 

or

asterisk -rx "echolink dbdump" > filename

to save it to a file for viewing.

possible is of course everything but i don`t think that there is any problem with the router software BUT we have many problems with the internetconnection at the repeater location. sometimes there
 is no more signal so we must restart the router/modem (all included; AVM Fritzbox)

any other ideas or issues to solve the prob ?

Just a hunch here....

It kinda sounds like a router issue as strange as that may seem but not exactly the router...

Is there anything else on the network (computers) that could have a piece of malware on it ?

I have seen many a "unidentified malware" exploit router security and play with the router settings in router ram without writing them to NVRam. This type of malware eventually uses the host as a forwarding hub for data they have collected elsewhere to
 hide source of where it is going. While it it easy to find the infected computer, much harder to find the files on that computer. Keeping router firmware up to date or using a newer router can help.

Just a thought if you are unable to locate the problem.

The command is  'echolink dbdump"

[root at WA3DSP_Allstar wa3dsp]# asterisk -rx "echolink dbdump" | grep WA3DSP

147090|WA3DSP-L|50.191.8.33

You can also use  dbget

WA3DSP_Allstar*CLI> echolink dbget c WA3DSP-L

147090|WA3DSP-L|50.191.8.33

To dump the entire database so you can look at it do

asterisk -rx "echolink dbdump" > echolink.txt

echolink.txt can be any filename and directory you want. Then do

less  echolink.txt

To look through the file.
