news:3JkEb.744218$6C4.465247@pd7tw1no: I'm on cable with a router and Windows XP I believe I have my XP firewall configured properly, infact I have tried to connect to the test station with it ON and OFF to no avail ( I do see my connect attempt displayed on the Echolink screen but my connection fails). The echolink help files show how to setup router port permissions on the Dlink 604 but the Dlink 704 setup screens are very different and don't seem to indicate weather or not I'm opening up the ports in both directions or not. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks remove the "de-" FIrst of all determine if your router is the problem. I'm not sure which model DI-704 you have, but the method is the same for all models. FOr the DI-704 goto page 17 in the manual and setup the computer you use for Echo Link as the DMZ host. Warning: do thid fo testing only and restore it to normal when you are finished, this exposes your computer to the Internet WITHOUT firewall protection. IF after you try this you can connect on ECHO link then you will have to set up port forwarding for Ports 5198 and 5199 for UDP traffic only. Info for doing this is on Page 14 of your manual. Also check to make sure that the WInXP firewall (a useless bit of code) is disabled. Goto Start-- Control Panel-- Network Connections. Right click on the LAN connection for your computer ans select Properties form the menu. Click on the Advanced tab and make sure the check box in front of "Protect my computer and network by limiting or preneting access to this computer from the Internet." Then click OK Hope it helps  Panzer -- Panzer |
