An even more flexible way (in case you have multiple computers that  
you may want to use EchoLink/EchoMac on, or in case your Mac's IP  
address changes) is to use the "Port Triggering" page of that  
router.  Set it for:
Application: EchoMac
Triggered Range:  Start Port: 5200  End Port: 5200
Forwarded Range:  Start Port: 5198  End Port: 5199
Enabled

This way whenever your computer fetches the list of stations  
connected (which uses a TCP connection it originates on port 5200),  
the router will automatically forward traffic on the UDP ports to the  
computer's current IP address.

(A screen shot of this setup is in the EchoMac Help file for EchoMac  
1.14.5 on the "How do I use EchoMac behind a firewall, or router with  
NAT?" page of "Solving Problems".)
