[arm-allstar] Trying to connect two nodes

[Dan Ozment]

I have had a similar experience.  Unfortunately, I don’t have a solution or understanding of what is causing it, but thought I would pass along something I found in case it helps.

 

I have two nodes.  Brought both of them up on the same LAN using different ports for IAX.  I had port forwarding set up correctly on the router.  I tried for days to connect node one to node two, and always got a connection failed message.   I’m not 100% sure I’m remembering this correctly, but I think I ran a packet capture on node 2 while trying to connect to if from node 1, and never saw any traffic.   …I think.

 

I finally  tried connecting node 1 to an external node, and it worked.  Next time I tried connecting to node 2 it connected.  

 

Again, I don’t understand what is happening or how to fix it, but my thought at the time was there must be something going on with IAX routing somewhere out there that was causing the traffic to not be routed back to my IP.  Once I connected to a remote node it somehow magically cleared that up, and I was able to connect.

… I am able to connect to various nodes around the world.  However, I'm not able to connect the two nodes together.  When I try to connect to the other node it states "connection failed." Both nodes are on and working and are on separate networks in DHCP.  I can see them both active on allstarlink.org <http://allstarlink.org> .
