Connect Nodes Locally

AllStarLink
1

My new FTTP modem does not allow me to connect one of my nodes to the other via my public IP address. The only way I can connect them at the moment is connect both of them to a common node of a friend.

Is there a way to connect 2 nodes (both on a LAN with fixed 192.168 address) with each other either by way of a hosts file entry or specific command to connect to the other node?

Both nodes register reliably and can be connected to from the outside world but just not to each other unless by a circuitous route.

My previous modem worked fine but this new one just rejects a connection from going to its own IP from inside.

You did not mention if both nodes were behind the same NAT. Or even if there were two servers.
But I am guessing so.
Try this…

Thanks Mike,
Yes they are both behind the same NAT and are already on their own ports as separate servers.
One is a DMR Bridge, the other an FM Repeater Allstar node.
The DMR Bridge, at the moment, does a macro connect to my friends node on startup. He has a permanent Connect back to the repeater Allstar node
I have bindport=4573 on the Brdige and bindport=4570 on the AllStar node in my iax.conf.
Is this different from port= ?

And so I suppose…
The DMR Bridge currently has this. It’s on IP 192.168.0.36 port 4573
[nodes]
512813 = radio@127.0.0.1:4573/512813,NONE
; So I will add
512810 = radio@192.168.0.21:4570/512810,NONE

The Allstar Repeater Node currently has this. It’s on IP 192.168.0.21 port 4570
