Echolink Network Setup

After installing Echolink, the Firewall/router test failed.

Fix:

1. In Windows firewall (Wireless interface, Properties, Advanced, Firewall, ...) add Exceptions for UDP port 5198 and 5199, i.e. add 2 separate exceptions.
2. In the D-Link DI-614+, add similar exceptions under Home, Advanced, Virtual Server: Traffic from "public port" 5198 needs to go to "private port" 5198, where the "private IP" is the IP of the laptop, like 10.0.104. Again add 2 separate Virtual Servers for 5198 and 5199.

The D-Link setup has the drawback that it's locked to an IP address, so the Laptop should have a fixed IP on the local wireless net.

This post shows how to enable Port Triggering which solves the IP address issue: http://echomac.sourceforge.net/routers.html
