Andy gave me some info on this awhile back also.

Attempting to get validated and waiting for the return telephone call. When running the test I keep getting the following:

Firewall Test Results: FAIL
The test successfully connected to the EchoLink server on TCP port 5200. This means that your system's TCP configuration is correct for use with EchoLink.
UDP ports do not seem to be blocked, but the tester did NOT receive a response to some of the UDP tests. If you have a router or firewall installed, be sure its Port Forwarding feature is correctly set. See Help for details.
In the current configuration, you might be able to connect with many of the nodes in the EchoLink system, including the EchoLink Test Server. However, you might experience problems connecting to certain other nodes, or accepting connections from certain nodes. For best results, please enable the Port Forwarding feature of your router, if possible.
There appears to be a router between this computer and the Internet. A router normally requires special configuration for use with EchoLink.
For more information, click the Help button above, or see the Firewall Solutions page on the EchoLink Web site.

I will check the router next, but I don't think that is the problem or is only part of the problem. Will continue to try.
So what did you do to fix this Jim? I get the same error using this laptop when connecting via the Wi-Fi at camp (NomadISP). When using this same Laptop via my home QTH wireless AT&T U-Verse Gateway, all is OK. I tried to get them (NomadISP) to open the ports throught the camp routers, but I don't think the understood.
