I'll try tonight to see if defining the Echolink node number here helps. Can't seem to connect to the EL node from outside, but can Allstar->EL Test server OK. 5198 and 5199 are listening on Netstat -L. The Win7 EL app can also contact the test node and Firewall Test checks instantly. This connectivity issue is getting grating.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">Thanks again, Ill keep plugging.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">Duane</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 11, 2016 at 12:00 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:app_rpt-users-request@ohnosec.org" target="_blank">app_rpt-users-request@ohnosec.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Send App_rpt-users mailing list submissions to<br>

defines the node which resides in your computer is local. The IP
address of 127.0.0.1 is local host, and local host resolves to
this IP. It's defined so Asterisk knows where on the AllStar
system this node exists. In this case - it's local to your
computer itself. If there is more than one node instance in a
single computer, they will be added as well, to 127.0.0.1 local
host.<br>
<br>
Other nodes can be established in this stanza to statically define
where (in the world) they exist. Say your node commonly connects
to another node that has a static IP address. This address could
be public or private. Defining a node and an IP in this stanza
eliminates the need for the node to resolve (using DNS lookup)
where the node resides. This can eliminate nodes not connecting
to one another if the AllStar nodes resolver system should become
unreachable. If a node is defined, it doesn't do the look-up, it
simply uses the static assignment to attempt the connection.
Nodes that are on an Internet connection which are offered public
IP addresses which change on occasion should not be defined
statically. This is the whole reason behind DNS, As IP's change
(because the ISP changes them) the system will keep track and
always know what IP address your node is located at, so others can
connect to you.<br>
<br>
I believe this area only relates to AllStar nodes - not EchoLink
nodes - BUT I'm not sure about this.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps..<br>
