[arm-allstar] Node registration failures

[David McGough]

Hi Chris,

I'm glad you were able to get going again. As for UDP port 4569 being 
blocked???? Interesting....  If you've got some time in the next few days, 
I'd like to perform some brief testing, too.

I use AT&T 4G hotspots extensively, in several areas of the USA, and 
haven't uncountered port 4569 being blocked, so far.
