[arm-allstar] Port number issue

Thu Feb 23 03:20:26 EST 2017

Understood Doug. I just thought while you were helping him that might as 
well be included.
Once he put things online it would be an issue when an outsider tried to 
connect to his node.

What I see coming next is him wanting to experiment by connecting his 2 
node together to learn and play.
Depending on how his ISP or router treats hairpin connections he may 
also need to be advised about adding each of his local servers node/ip 
info to the opposite server in the rpt.conf "Node" section. Sooner or 
later he will wants to connect the 2 servers nodes together.

But then you have so many great "How to" posted online I guess you have 
covered all that if he was pointed to them.

I know how thorough you are when helping some one. My comment was meant 
to be a reminder as it would make his nodes totally usable when you 
finished.
