Very important bit of information is still missing.
What IP address does your router say is was assigned?

If that address not 72.50.16.221, that means that you have two levels of
NAT translation going on, and that is the reason it is not working for you.

I mentioned that on a previous post.

The only manual I can find online is the Quick Start manual.

>??? 4.? On the pc I run UCD NOIP software so it can send the right IP every 5 minutes to np3jd.ddns.net on NOIP. Right now is 72.50.16.221 and UCD? will check every 5 minutes

You only need to NOIP set up on your NAT router.? Nothing is needed on
the PC, except the ratflector.

>??? 5.? I turn on the Drats repeater program. NO info added, nothing here no ip no nothing, I? just click on? “trust localhost”

You have found a minor bug in d-rats_repeater.py.? The "trust localhost"
is only needed if you have "Require Authentication" also checked.
So the trust localhost button should not be enabled unless you have
"Require Authentication" also enabled.

It is a “Open Port Check Tool” if you click on it, it will take you to a web site whre you can add the port and it will verify if it is working or not. And guess what jajaj mine aint working jajajajaj

Earlier you posted that you can not reach the ratflector on a different
system on your network.

You need to check your PC firewall program to make sure that port 9000
is not blocking it.

You would need to use the current LAN IP 192.168.8.50 of the system
running the ratflector to work from another system on your own network.

That issue has nothing to do with your router configuration.? There is
no point in trying to get NO-IP to work until the above works.

Once you get it working with your LAN IP address of the ratflector, then
you can try testing with your public IP address.

Next you need to find out is what your NAT Router thinks the external IP
address is.? I asked you to do that check before.

If it is not 72.50.16.221, then you will probably have to see if you can
find a support person for your wireless provider that knows how to make
your port 9000 visible.

Also check terms and conditions of your ISP, in the U.S. many of the
residential ISPs explicitly prohibit running a server visible to the
public internet.
