Also check the ports
From http://www.echolink.org/firewall_solutions.htm
EchoLink requires that your router or firewall allow inbound and outbound
UDP to destination ports 5198 and 5199, and outbound TCP to port 5200.
Source ports are dynamically assigned. If you are using a home-network
router, you will also need to configure the router to "forward" UDP ports
5198 and 5199 to the PC on which EchoLink is running.

This can be summarized as:
Allow UDP (source port any, destination ports 5198-5199) from Internet to
PC
Allow UDP (source port any, destination ports 5198-5199) from PC to
Internet
Allow TCP (source port any, destination port 5200) from PC to Internet
