[Ham-Mac] for what it's worth

[slater tubman]

I have spent the afternoon (it's raining) fooling around with EchoLink  
and EchoMac on two different machines with some strange but successful  
results.

On my iMac Intel using Parallels I was finally able to make EchoLink  
work by setting the port settings on my DLink router to the IP address  
for the Parallels virtual machine. The Windows Firewall stayed on.

On my PC I was unable to get EchoLink to connect until I closed the  
Windows Firewall. Then it was fine.

On the iMac, I was always able to make EchoMac work fine.

In my router's wireless settings I had to have two sets of port  
forwardings for EchoLink, one for the iMac/Parallels program and one  
for the PC.
I also had one set of allowed forwardings for EchoMac.

I thought it was odd that on the PC I had to turn the firewall off to  
get success but not on the Parallels side.

Maybe this will help someone else.
