Ports are open... 4560-4590 udp, port 4569 udp 5198 - 5199 ( I know it's for echolink) but not going to set it up yet node 47379.. listed to my call sign (n6kmr) registered it all looks fine etc.. pass code etc info I have gotten from others... 1) Your port forwarding on your router is not setup correctly. 2) Your network settings on your node are not entered correctly. 3) When setting up your node, you may have not entered your correct node password. Check out those 3 things and let us know if you have any luck."" (I do believe I have them correct) OR... Not familiar with your set up. I do know that you have to open port 4569 or what ever you did when you did the node setup, but that is the default and needs to be Port Forward UDP to start with. If that isn't done, no one can connect to you. Well I do want to thank all that has helped so far, but I need to send this to some one.. because this is well to mind boggling. And I am sure this is easy to some but the HELP files SUCK, I need to learn this but having time and barely a week end to work on this is very frustrating.. This is what I have so far: node 47379 Running a Pi 3, using a URIx-B, green light is on (with proper cables) with a kenwood tm-g707 I have updated the PI.. and asterick from the ASL window, I could send everything to someone who would help then tell me what I did wrong, OR sign in remotely? Send for HELP or go for more beer! I guess a step by step process is what is needed... any takers.. Jim n6kmr
