[App_rpt-users] Registration Issues

Sun Dec 27 17:28:28 UTC 2015

Thank you for the info, Tim & Lu! Since I'm not running NAT on my 44
subnet, I don't do any masquerade rules. I'm only adding firewall filter
rules to open the firewall up for 4569 since I block everything by default.

Strangely enough, everything started working again this morning with no
intervention on my part! My nodes on my 44 subnet are all registered.
Again, same issue as last time - so, we'll see how long this lasts! Would
really like to figure out why it does this every few months.

Thanks again for everyone's help!
