One of the very first things to do when testing connection issues is
to put the node in the DMZ of the router. Easy, simple and can
quickly eliminate lots of settings.<br>
<br>
In fact, my node is on the DMZ with a strong password. Never had an
issue.<br>

It turns out the router was forwarding the right port BUT it
was set to tcp instead of udp. I had gone over this several
times with the operator and I had thought it was right but
when we looked at it again it was wrong.<br>
<br>
When set in the tcp mode it did accept connections but only
for a short window of time after a prior disconnect from the
other direction.<br>
<br>
Thanks for all the input and sorry to cause all the back and
forth on this. I learned that you have to be extremely concise
when dealing with someone remotely who is inexperienced! <br

Do a “tcpdump port 4569” at the Linux command line and incite
a connect from another node. You should see inbound packets.

FiOS with an actiontek router and it works fine.<br>

about consistent NAT and I was wondering if that
might be the problem.<br>
<br>
I was able to connect in one time right after a
reboot which might support the NAT issue.<br>

The router is an Actiontek MI424WR GigE as
supplied by Verizon on their FIOS system.<br>
<br>
Is anyone else having a problem with this router
or have any ideas on this?<span
