= PTTLink registration fails when behind a NAT router =

Some NAT-routers do not honor source-port preservation. Registration (by default) requires that the source port be preserved. The URL register.allstarlink.org expects the source port to be 4569 by default. With some NAT routers, source-port preservation is not guaranteed. For example, the Dlink DI series is one such router which does not preserve source port numbers and there is a 100% chance that when the registration packet exits your router, it will use a different (high 60,000 range) port number.

|Does your node number show on a green background on allstarlink.org?. If not, your node may not be registering properly to register.allstarlink.org. Check the registration statement in /etc/asterisk/iax.conf and make sure the node number and password are correct

|Do you have the correct port forwarding settings configured in your firewall?

|Allstar Link requires that UDP traffic on port 4569 be forwarded from the public (WAN) IP address to the private (LAN) IP address running Limey Linux or ACID. Please check the settings in your router using its instruction manual to make sure port 4569 UDP is set up to be forwarded to the correct internal (private) IP address. If the port forwarding settings are correct in your router, please send a message to the app_rpt-users list requesting help, and we will check to see if your system is properly registering with our registration server. Please include your node number in the message A small number of NAT routers require that we force the port setting to port 4569 on the registration server. This is a manual process and requires intervention from one of the system administrations.
