So, sounds like it’s not my node maybe it’s the users node?
I had another guy check and this is the voice message he left.
Yeah. Hey Russell tried to connect to 523800, but it’s not connecting. I am connected to yours 47923 tried to reach you on all star but no comeback from you. So. But I’ve tried to 523800 several times even went on All Star monitor too and put in 523800 and it won’t connect so but 47923 I’m connected to you right now. So but anyway, I tried it several times and it must be either turned off or or what so don’t know what else you want me to do with 523800. Give me a shout when you can.
The most probable cause would be that you both have a like numbered private node attached.
Part of a ‘loop-back’ protection, and unfortunately includes private nodes. https://wiki.allstarlink.org/wiki/Private_nodes
Otherwise, it could be that his nodelist is out of date ? I doubt it.
A quick test would be for him to drop all connections and just try a connection with you,
bare bones, so to speak.
But know any connection in common will cause a refusal in loop-back.
