Firewall / Internet Security Settings •
Most PC users today incorporate a "firewall" for security protection
when connected to the internet. While most contemporary firewall / security
software will recognize new software applications as they attempt to communicate
over the internet for the first time (presenting the user with an interactive
prompt to "permit" or "block" the
application's activities), many EchoLink users still have difficulty getting "connected" due
to their firewall / security settings -- often not realizing those settings
are causing the problem(s).
In addition to various security software packages, many modem / router
hardware devices require customizing, or allowing communications on specific
ports using specific protocols.
Click here to
go to a section on EchoLink's web site describing settings for the most
common firewall and internet security software and hardware configurations. If
you continue to have difficulty after having read through that section,
be sure to check out the EchoLink Troubleshooter Application and FAQs linked from that same page.
