That’s about right. Your node numbers have to get into the database on your computer and the other guys’ and, depending when you hit in the update cycle, it can take that long.

Look for the file /var/lib/asterisk/rpt_extnodes to update

If you are just connecting 2498 to 27333 you can short cut that process by putting your internal IP addresses in the [nodes] stanza (both of them in each node). It will check there first, before looking at the external nodes.

I have 2 Allstar nodes 2498 & 27333. They work well and all is great. I have a router that allows the ports required for translation and I can ping www.google.com no problems. I logged onto the Allstar site and can see my nodes are in green. I have to wait 10-15 minutes once my nodes are on for any node to connect. If I try a connection with in this 10-15 minute window I get a failed connection.

I have set DNS a 2 static addresses both with live TTL addresses and on boot can ping both IP addresses.

Any ideas please

Cheers
