[arm-allstar] Hotspot Blues

[Tim Sawyer]

I would move the DMZ to the router and move the RasberyPi behind the router. Then, on your router, you can port forward Echolink and IRLP to the RasperyPi and Allstar to the BBB.

The hotspot is working well with my Blackberry Pi-based Echolink/IRLP node. I have a static IP that seems to help. In order to make everything work and play well together, I had to DMZ my node IP on the Hotspot because it does not allow custom forwarding of specific ports. That was fine when it was the only system.

Yes, I am using a router (WiFiRange G02) for the rest of my computers, laptops, and iPhones, but that introduces another network (Hotspot is 192.168.1xx and router serves up 10.159.xx.xx). The all-or-nothing DMZ throws a monkey wrench in the soup! Yes, I know I will have EchoLink capabilities on the BBB, but of course, NOT IRLP.
