Just found out something today, I recently switched to Metronet fiber, and my
Echolink program stopped working. So I went in to the router and tried to
setup port forwarding, it would not work. Tried it many times, same bad
result. Called Metronet...unless you buy a static IP for $120 a year, you
can't port forward.  Metronet uses something called CGNAT - Carrier Grade NAT 
and this is why you can't port forward using their dynamic assigned external
IP. 

I wish I had known that before. I don't use echolink much. So I'm not paying
$120 for a static IP from Metronet. 

Just a heads up.
