Well it suddenyl started working (except for connects to AA2AD), not sure what I did but I just had a chat with someone on a downstate repeater system.
I played around with all kinds of settings in the router but the most recent was to enable port "triggering" plus I also saw a new item in my Network Neigbourhood. Instead of just my Local Area Connection, I also noticed an icon for INTERNET GATEWAY, was not there this morning! Perhaps playing around with my router created it. Anyway I right clicked on it, enabled HTTP and a couple of minutes later Echolink worked. --- In [email protected], Andrew O'Brien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Just got home Mark. > > An IP config command tels me that I the PC is at 192.168.1.100 > > Should I be forwarding ports to that address rather than a different number > ? > > > > > > > On 1/14/06, mark at work <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi Andy, > > What is the ip address of your computer now?
