      MSGID: 1:229/426.31 3555a504       CHRS: IBMPC 2       TZUTC: -0500       Just found out something today, I recently switched to Metronet fiber, and my       Echolink program stopped working. So I went in to the router and tried to       setup port forwarding, it would not work. Tried it many times, same bad       result. Called Metronet...unless you buy a static IP for $120 a year, you       can't port forward. Metronet uses something called CGNAT - Carrier Grade NAT        and this is why you can't port forward using their dynamic assigned external       IP.               I wish I had known that before. I don't use echolink much. So I'm not paying       $120 for a static IP from Metronet.               Just a heads up.               73              Regards,       Brian Franklin       --- WinPoint 398.2        * Origin: I might be moving to Montana soon (1:229/426.31)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 18/200 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131 129/305       SEEN-BY: 129/330 331 153/7715 226/30 227/114 229/110 200 206 312 317       SEEN-BY: 229/400 424 426 428 664 700 240/5832 266/512 282/1038 292/854       SEEN-BY: 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280       SEEN-BY: 712/848       PATH: 229/426           |
