Change of ISP at Remote Site - Help Requested

Mike Cotton - K4RUM:
Hi All  --

I have hit a roadblock. 

I have used a TS-480 remotely for years.  Recently, the owners of the remote site changed their internet service provider.  I took the laptop computer I use at the control site, my Control RRC and my TS-480 control head to the radio site, and I reconfigured both the Radio and the Control RRCs.  Due to scheduling issues, I had to leave the radio site immediately after confirming that all worked together on the network at the radio site.  The Radio and Control RRCs are not communicating now that they are on different networks.  I cannot access the Radio RRC outside of the Radio RRC's network.

While at the radio site, I (believe I) dealt with firewall issues to allow communications between the Radio and Control RRCs.

In the Radio Settings for the Control RRC, I now have the outside address of the Radio RRC.  Previously, I used a ddns hostname.

Any thoughts?  I'm at a loss, although I suspect that I am missing something obvious.

I can get to the remote site to make any changes that I need to make, and alternatively, I should be able to get access to a PC at the remote site to make any changes to the Radio RRC settings that may be required.

Hi Mike,

Actually, re configuring the RRC's was unnecessary to make the system work, all you needed
to do was to add the port forwards in the new router and it would have worked as it did before
(assuming the radio RRC was set to DHCP, in the case it wasn't, then a minor change was
necessary in that RRC only).

Drop me a note to dj0qn (at) darc.de and I can send you my networking checklist to remind you how
to do that, or let me know if you need any further help.

Mike Cotton - K4RUM:
Mitch, thanks very much.  Since much of what I did was unnecessary, should I just revert to previous profiles for both the Radio and the Control RRCs?  I believe I have dealt with the new internet firewall issues.

By the way, I do have your networking checklist.  I had forgotten that you had sent this to me in 2015.

dj0qn:
Hi Mike,

Only if you want to. If it works now, then don't worry about it. Bottom line is that is was
unnecessary and a change to a new router only means changes in the new router (and maybe
one change to the radio RRC's IP number if not set to DHCP).

Mitch, I am going to try to get everything (re)configured tonight.  I am outside of the radio network, but I did have everything working within the radio network, so I hope that I can talk someone at the radio site through the reconfiguration.

I have one question:  I had a Microbit Dynamic DNS Address for my prior configuration.  Will that same Microbit Dynamic DNS Address work with my new configuration, or will I need to get a new Dynamic DNS address?
