There is no simple answer to give for whatever may have gone wrong
here. You need to understand IP networking if you're trying to
troubleshoot networking problems. It sounds like the RF side of
things worked well at least.<br>
<br>
Did the modem DHCP an IP successfully? Is your modem bridging or
NAT-routing the phone? Was a default route setup and reachable?
What was traceroute saying? etc...<br>
<br>
Perhaps someone can recommend some basic networking tutorials for
hams here.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I have been
connected to Gold Mountain from my house for about a year,
and I have okay coverage. I have a Dynadish 5, which has
five built-in LEDs to indicate connection strength. At home,
I get one or two LEDs to light up, and I’m able to make
calls over Hamwan with a VOIP phone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Today, I
took my Dynadish portable, and set it up with good line of
site to Paine, Westin, and Beacon. I had all five LEDs lit
up when I aimed at Beacon. I had hoped to be able to plug in
my VOIP phone and make a test call, but the phone got stuck
at “Initializing DNS,” regardless of which site I tried.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Took it all
back home, set it up the same way on my roof, and was
talking on the phone in under a minute.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">My
assumption is that I need to re-initialize the Dynadish 5
when I change connection sites. Is this correct? If so, is
there an easy way to switch over from one to another, or do
I need to open up Winbox and follow the instructions in the
“Connect” phase of Client Node Configuration? Or do I need
to do something else? I’d like to be able to move from site
to site without complications.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Any
advice/ideas are appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
