It also has no timeouts at our end. I have no idea about the other end. <br><br>The echolink/Allstar bridge was never intended to be a permanent connection but rather a method for echolink users to casually connect and converse within the Allstar network.<br><br>For Allstar connects I always stress permanent Allstar links (*73) for connections you don't want to fail. <br id="FontBreak"></font><br>I occasionally get complaints "my link is dropping" and when I ask they used (*3) to connect. There are always dropouts on the Internet especially overnight when providers often service networks.<br><br><b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">73 Doug</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">WA3DSP</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</font></b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><br><br><div>> Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2016 00:19:36 -0400<br>> To: arm-allstar@hamvoip.org<br>> Subject: Re: [arm-allstar] Echolink Time Out ?<br>> From: arm-allstar@hamvoip.org<br>> CC: w2ymm1@gmail.com<br>> <br>> It is through a Netgear router.

Just curious if there might be a workaround. <br>> I'll keep monitoring. <br>> <br>> I did notice a lot of errors in the log for being unable to connect to Echolink server 5.
