That’s a great thought… The node is at my house and I have Cable Internet 50mbps/5mbps and it is served by DHCP, but it is reserved. So it does still renew at half the lease time but the IP doesn’t change. Since the IP never changes I wouldn’t think that would affect it any but I could set it static just to rule it out.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>I plan to move the node down the road to a datacenter. There I have 1gbps/1gbps fiber connection and a virtual Sophos firewall that I can easily bypass for troubleshooting. But I’m not ready to move it yet and I would love to fix it where it’s located now…<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>While thinking and typing I have another idea too. I have an AllStar DIAL hub server with 4 radioless nodes at the same datacenter (currently not behind the virtual Sophos firewall). So what I will do is permanent connect hub node 46690 to the echolink conference and permanent connect 46648 to 46690. Doing that could rule out several things, or at least narrow it down to something at my house. I heard someone after the AllStar tech net Tuesday night say that it’s a bad idea to permanent connect to an echolink conference, can anyone expand on that?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>If anyone else has any other ideas please let me know.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>73<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Will, KE4IAJ<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=196073504193006&ref=br_rs">TARG</a> AEC<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> App_rpt-users [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@lists.allstarlink.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Jim Nessen<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, November 9, 2017 12:19 PM<br><b>To:</b> 'Users of Asterisk app_rpt' <app_rpt-users@lists.allstarlink.org><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [App_rpt-users] 24/7 Echolink Connection Dropping Audio<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div id=divtagdefaultwrapper><p><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'>This is a long shot, but is your public IP address served by DHCP, or is it a static IP?
