[arm-allstar] Linking behind the firewall

[Tim Sawyer]

That’s a common problem with some routers. But the fix is simple and should be done any time two or more servers are on the same network. The setting below causes the nodes to connect to the LAN IP rather than the public IP of your router. 

List the other node with it’s IP address and port in the [nodes] stanza of each rpt.conf. 

[nodes]
1999 = radio at 127.0.0.1/1999,NONE                    ; Local node (no change to this line)
1998 = radio at 192.168.1.12:4571/1998,NONE     ; Other node’s IP and port (add this line to each rpt.conf)

The [nodes] stanza works like the hosts file on a computer. It resolves the IP address before looking at the public directory.

They are tied to the same router on his LAN with different ports. If he tries to connect the Raspi to the BBB or the other way around, he gets connection failed. We have completely rebuilt both nodes from the ground up twice re-downloading and extracting the image just to be sure. The ISP gave him a new modem/router hoping it would fix the problem but it didn't.
