[Ham-Mac] MacSense router configuration

[Mark Klocksin]

I am having a frustrating time setting up Echomac and EchoLink.  I  
cannot connect to remote stations.  Also, I can’t hear them. I’m  
pretty sure it’s a router issue.

I have a DSL connection and a MacSense router plugged into the DSL  
modem.  I also have a 4-port switch plugged into the router.

The router is a MacSense MIH-130A with 1.19f firmware.  I have set it  
up as follows:

Block wan port scanning   “Enable”
Block WAN Ping response “Disable”


Under Special Applications, I entered the following names “EchoLink”  
and “Echomac.”  I selected both.  I set both the outgoing trigger and  
incoming port range to: 5198~5200.  (By the way, there is a third box  
for "QuickT and RealP"  Outgoing  is 554~554 and incoming is  
6970~7170.  I don't know how this was set.)

(Later) After reading some posts, I also tried the following settings  
for both EchoLink and EchoMac:

Outgoing trigger: 5200 ~ 5200 and
Incoming  port range: 5198 ~ 5199

This doesn't seem to make any difference.

One final question--is there any manual selection process I need to  
do in order to "activate" the port trigger and range when booting the  
EchoLink and EchoMac software?

Thanks for any help you can provide!
