What happens when you do a: "/ping 44.24.10.1" from the radio? I got that IP address from John Hays as a address that should respond to a ping from within the 44 block. All I get are timeouts.
Dean, HamWAN is a multi-homed (redundant) network. We have multiple origination points for the 44.24.240.0/20 IP block. However, AMPR (at least the AMPR portal) only allows one endpoint per network. The endpoint we currently have configured with AMPR is 209.189.196.68, our Seattle router. It looks like from parts of the network it's trying to route 44.24.10.0/24 out HamWAN's Corvallis router (198.178.136.80), but John Hays system is not listening for IPIP packets from 198.178.136.80. This is reasonable, considering we're not advertising that address through AMPR. The problem is AMPR won't let us advertise it. We might be able to solve this by removing the redundancy within HamWAN. I'm going to send another message to the 44net mailing list to see why they have it programmed not to let us have redundant endpoints. Tom KD7LXL
