Just found out something today, I recently switched to Metronet fiber, and my
Echolink program stopped working. So I went in to the router and tried to setup
port forwarding, it would not work. Tried it many times, same bad result.
Called Metronet...unless you buy a static IP for $120 a year, you can't port
forward. Metronet uses something called CGNAT - Carrier Grade NAT and this is
why you can't port forward using their dynamic assigned external IP.
I wish I had known that before. I don't use echolink much. So I'm not paying
$120 for a static IP from Metronet.
Just a heads up.
