Difficulty with instillation
nortoneye:
Tim,
So for non computer folks this boils down to RPA requiring communication through a fixed port, 80 in this case, and ISPs deciding to be selective in allocating the IPv4 addresses using CGNAT? So my son's ISP, different than mine, works fine because they do not use CGNAT? And if RPA did not require communication through a fixed port, life would be good?
My RPA is working, just trying to understand in a basic way what's going on.
Thanks for your interest and detailed information Tim. Let's run some trains!

That sums it up pretty well Jim.
I'm still hoping to be able to make a test in the next couple of weeks, and I've almost finished updating the test tool, which I'll then update the user guide on determining if a user is behind CGNAT.
I will say that the fixed port is only a problem on the inbound (ie, back to you from Ring), direction, on the outbound direction (from you to Ring) it's not a problem.

Tim Ring emailed me yesterday and asked for contact information for my ISP to see if he can figure out a way for me not to have a static IP that I pay for. We'll see what transpires........I would like to rubberneck on that conversation.

Good evening,
Tim Ring called my ISP today to discuss the connection issues I had. I talked to him and my ISP tech support guy. Tim Ring admits he will need to make a change in his program to resolve connection issues that I and one other user has had knowing that he is likely to have increasing problems in the future. He may change his current server or most likely will build the work around into the new server he is building and hopes to have online this year. When he has the new server online, he will post that information in the "what's new" section of the website.
My ISP tech had read Tim's detailed post of Dec 1 and was very complimentary saying "he has it right". Anyway I am happy that this will eventually be solved for me and others.
