[Elecraft] Fwd: K3/0 to K3 RemoteRig issue

[bwruble at gmail.com]

OK guys.  Don't waste time on this. The problem is definitely the router. 

I cannot successfully ping my remote router in Maryland (where the remote K3 is) from inside my network here in Key West. I CAN successfully ping it when I am using Verizon with my iPad.  I CAN ping anything else I try from inside the network.

Something in the way the router setup is working is preventing some kinds of data from flowing back to me.  This was not the case before AT&T's technician set up the static ip addresses.

The router is a Motorola NVG510 used by the ATT U-Verse system. On-line, I find many forum threads dealing with idiosyncratic behavior of this particular router. That is what zapped me. Now I have to work out a fix. 

Tnx. Happy Holidays.

73,

Brian

I can tune, and obviously the distant K3 is tuning, as I can hear the signals change.  I can change bands, change modes, go in and out of XMIT.  The front panel of the K3/0 never shows a change, just sits there.

That has not affected any internet functions --- I have email, browser, and comms with the K3.  I just don't have feedback from the K3.  It seems to me that if I have good internet, then the K3/0 and RemoteRig shouldn't care about the changes, but it is suspiciously coincidental.  ........
