<div dir="ltr">Happy to report significant progress and share some information with the group. It appears that at least some of the problems I've had with node configuration are the result of extraneous characters being introduced into files I've edited on my node. I think it may be due to the Zterm program I was using occasionally to edit files via USB/serial communication with my node. I had noticed a few random characters on the screen while editing, but apparently some of those characters were being written to the files.When I replaced iax.conf, rpt.conf and other .conf files with example files and then edited those files using using Putty and Nano - my problems started to disappear - at least then I began to get error messages that made some sense and allowed me to find other problems I had created. There are still some rough edges to smooth out, but finally today I've made significant progress. Many thanks to Doug, David, TJ and others for their help in troubleshooting. <div><br></div><div>John </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Aug 27, 2014 at 7:59 PM, John <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:wb5nfc@gmail.com" target="_blank">wb5nfc@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I thought I had all of the gremlins slain when I got a VPN working on my node. It appears that is not the case. Two different stations tried to connect to my node tonight via Echolink. Neither was successful. My node is listed on Echolink as an active station as well as on Allstar as an active node. How do I begin to troubleshoot this problem? I'm utilizing AT&T on an iPhone hotspot with a Cradlepoint router. When logged in on the BBB, I can ping Echolink servers. What am I missing???<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div>
