Update: Issue resolved I just wanted to get this information out there for future reference. Original issue was no incoming echolink connections possible, outbound connections worked with no issue. After adjusting many different items in the echolink.conf file and settings in the router, we finally did a complete reinstall. No luck. We decided to change computers, still no luck. With my friend ready to throw in the towel, a local guy who is pretty fluent in Linux finally found the issue. Some file, i do not know what one yet, needed to be set to accept the ULAW audio codec. Then incoming connections worked perfect also. I don't know if this was something in the original configuration setup and downloaded or what it is. But it is some good information to have handy or think about if anyone experiences an issue with this in the future. Thanks for all the help and suggestions along the way. They are very much appreciated! Wade KC0MLT AllStar node 28757 On 12/23/2013 9:34 PM, wade wrote:
Ok for an update.
I was able to go back into my router and RE-enter all the port forwarding settings. This fixed my end of things and I can now get incoming connects, for now. As for my friend, he has a different router and has not had such luck. I will be heading over to his place in the next few days to see if I can resolve this in his router or not. Just for the record my servers are now listed as below:
server1=naeast.echolink.org server2=nawest.echolink.org server3=servers.echolink.org server4=backup.echolink.org
This works for me as of now.

Leave us not forget how a year ago I was "blacklisted" by Echolink for using non-echolink software. First they blocked me for using tbd on a server here then another round of attitude over using app_rpt. I also run a deny everyone except list, had to include three of their callsigns in the list to make them happy again. I had been pulling what's left of my hair out trying to figure why I could not connect.
Now it has also happened as a result of what can only be "odd" routing with my dear friends at AT&T.
Also, yes a good time to chip in to support Jim's efforts here.

I think server2 is the server that doesn’t work. Try this…it’s what’s in my echo link.conf file:
server1=naeast.echolink.org server2=servers.echolink.org server3=servers.echolink.org

The ports are forwarding to the correct IP address. There is only one connection per location for echolink. All was working properly the first day, then the second day came and no inbound connections are possible. We can also no longer get in from our Android phones.
Thi is the message my friend gets.
ERROR [2306] chan_echolink.c: connect{} failed to connect to the echolink server server2.echolink.org
Hope this can help diagnose what going on here..

one thing to check... incoming and outgoing routes in your router udp ports for echolink and allstar
then know that
echolink only allows one connection per ip address.
Hope that leads you somewhere if you have not found it.

Hello all,
I recently helped a friend here in town to setup his first AllStar node. After getting everything up and running including the echolink part the next day it stopped allowing incoming connections. After doing some investigation mine has also stopped allowing incoming connections. Both of ours can connect out from our nodes but no one can connect in. On my node it comeback with a simple time out message, on his node it comes back with unauthorized. Has anyone had this issue before and if so what was the fix?
Our routers have all the appropriate port forwarding settings in them and have since the echolink on windows days. This is just a very strange occurrence to me that both of us have this problem and get two different messages back to other users. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Wade KC0MLT
