I disagree.  There is no networking difference between EchoLink on the
PC and EchoMac on Macs.  It does suggest there is a problem with the
firmware version in your router (as it hints in step 1 :-).  But Tim's
suggestion is a good one as long as you note his caveat that it will
only work with a single computer on your LAN (and as long as that
computer's IP address doesn't change).

Glad you got it going.
