As a diagnostic try the following:<BR>
<BR>
validate that in the rpt.conf file that you are updating to the allstar server<BR>
statpost_url=<a href="http://stats.allstarlink.org/uhandler.php">http://stats.allstarlink.org/uhandler.php</a> ; Status updates<BR>
statpost_program=/usr/bin/wget,-q,--timeout=15,--tries=1,--output-document=/dev/null<BR>
<BR>
Being granular, you can see if you are updating to the stats server, by typing at the command prompt:<BR>
tcpdump port 80<BR>
<BR>
Every five minutes or so, you will see a blast of data go to the stats.allstarlink.org server. If you do not see this activity, your server either has a broken internet connection, or a firewall rule issue, although typically as this is outbound it should not be an issue. The info presented may be cryptic, but it will validate that the node is doing updates.<BR>
<BR>
There may be a dns issue in play, and you can use nslookup to validate that. The latest Centos updates did do some hanky panky with the DNS config files – check for a forwarders artifact that you may not have had before. Along the dns issue, check to make sure that ipv6 is not in play.<BR>
<BR>
While you are doing a snoop using tcpdump, you can also validate that you are in a nodes list published by the allstarlink server and it is downloaded about every ten minutes on average. In that file, you should see the info that the server has on your node. That file is rpt_extnodes and is located in the var/lib/asterisk folder.<BR>
<BR>
Can other nodes connect with you? I suspect that the response is no, but just checking.<BR>

<BR>
I have noticed that on the (<a href="https://allstarlink.org/nodelist.php">https://allstarlink.org/nodelist.php</a>) site I show up as node 2498 in green but when I click onto the MB7IIP text I get the Node 2498 is no longer in the database. I have made no changes on my LAN and the IP of the node has been a static address since it was built. The ports on router are configured and for a short time I even set the router to DMZ the nodes address so no router interactio.<BR>
My node works fine. If I reboot it does take about an hour to authenticate but once authenticated all works great.<BR>
<BR>
Any ideas please<BR>
<BR>
Kind Regards<BR>
