"Can you please answer my questions about setting up EchoLink?"

Elmer says:

You know, I wish I could, but there are so many individual differences in routers and computer setups that I wouldn't be much help to you. What works for me will probably not apply to your station and computer setup, because you will likely have a different Internet service provider, a different computer with unique software, and all sorts of other equipment that I don't have.

So what to do? How about making a trip to the EchoLink website support page? Yes, there IS one, and you can find it here:
http://www.echolink.org/support.htm

When you get there, here is what you will find:

"EchoLink is offered free of charge to the Amateur Radio community, and is supported by a network of volunteers. Experience has shown that the majority of questions about EchoLink are similar, and can be answered by reading the Help documentation or one of the Frequently-Asked Questions sections. Most likely, you'll find that your particular question or problem has already been answered or addressed."

Frequently-asked questions are answered in the following areas:

General Topics
Installing the Software
Callsign Validation and Passwords
Problems Connecting to Other Stations
Problems Connecting to Servers
Basic Operation
Advanced Operation
Audio Issues
Firewall Solutions
EchoLink Proxy

Poor old Elmer can't give you service like that! So check out the EchoLink site and do some reading. If you are still stuck, there is a form that you can fill in, even if you use a screenreader, to ask a specific question. An EchoLink volunteer (bless them!) will get back to you.
