[WT-support] Dx Cluster

[Andrew O'Brien]

Still no luck.  I even tried using my own cluster at 127.0.0.1.


Hello localhost
Please enter your call: Hello Andy - Welcome to the K3UK   DXing Cluster.
 Local / 531 Total Users, 72 Nodes.

K3UK de K3UK 0429z >
DX de N6RK:       1870.6  W3TS                                        0429Z
DX de NV5H:       1829.0  W0SD         SD                             0429Z
DX de N6RK:       1868.2  VA5DX

but no luck, tried several others .  They all work fine in wtDXtelnet
but do not show up in the DX Cluster Monitor.  I wonder if I have to
enable some port forwarding in my router ?

No firewall in line
