   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.
