Good afternoon all, I have two nodes on my internal network. both on the same subnet. for the past 16 hours if I look at either node that show state as “Connecting” and not connected . Any thoughts ? I tried it once from one node running a script and before I went to bed last night I tried it from the other side.

Need more info... What are you trying to connect to ? a node behind your nat but on a different server? a node on the same server? a external node outside of your nat? You probably need to define more info for other nodes behind your nat but on other servers. Specifying the ip & port used in rpt.conf of the other servers "if" that is the case. 29283 = radio@127.0.0.1/29283,NONE 29999 = radio@192.168.1.223:4570/29999,NONE ;\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\< The line above shows the ip and port used of the other server inside of nat. the top line is a node local to the box/server. You would need to do this in each box behind your nat with proper ip/port to connect between them. ...mike/kb8jnm > **···** > > > Good afternoon all, > > I have two nodes on my internal network. both on the same subnet. for the > > past 16 hours if I look at either node that show state as "Connecting" and > > not connected . > > > > Any thoughts ?

I’m assuming your nodes are on separate servers. Some routers don’t do what is called hairpin NAT. That is connecting from an address on your NATed to the public IP address of a service on the same NATed network won’t work. Or the problem could be that your servers are set to the same port and/or the router port forwarding is not correct. In any case nodes on the same NATed network should have the IP address of the other nodes listed in the [nodes] stanza of rpt.conf. The port is needed if not default (4569). [nodes] ; Note, if you are using automatic update for allstar link nodes, ; no allstar link nodes should be defined here. Only place a definition ; for your local nodes, and private (off of allstar link) nodes here. 2510 = radio@127.0.0.1:4570/2510,NONE ; Local node 2502 = radio@192.168.1.12:4571/2502,NONE ; other node > **···** > > _“We must reject the idea that every time a law is broken, society is guilty rather than the law breaker.It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.” ~ Ronald Regan_ ---

Mike, It was not clear from your statements if you were ever able to connect them or if the script was the problem. If its two (or more) nodes on the same LAN on different computers (servers) they would need routing information in the nodes section of rpt.conf so they connect locally and do not try and use the public IP. You would need to do this on both servers. They should also be on different ports setup at [allstarlink.org](http://allstarlink.org) [nodes] ; Note, if you are using automatic update for allstar link nodes, ; no allstar link nodes should be defined here.

I figured with them on the same subnet they would talk directly to each other and there was no need to go out to the internet to make their connection. > **···** > > On Mon, Feb 9, 2015 at 1:05 PM, Tim Sawyer [tim.sawyer@mac.com](mailto:tim.sawyer@mac.com) wrote: > > > I’m assuming your nodes are on separate servers. > > > Some routers don’t do what is called hairpin NAT.

Nodes will attempt to connect to the public IP unless you tell them not to with the [nodes] stanza. If you know how a hosts file works it the same sort of thing: App\_rpt first looks for the node’s IP address in the [nodes] stanza. If not found it looks in the rpt\_extnodes file. Being that you didn’t have the node listed in your [nodes] stanza it uses rpt\_extnodes and hence the public IP. > **···** > > On Mon, Feb 9, 2015 at 1:05 PM, Tim Sawyer [tim.sawyer@mac.com](mailto:tim.sawyer@mac.com) wrote: > > > I’m assuming your nodes are on separate servers. > > > Some routers don’t do what is called hairpin NAT.
