Cannot access NanoStation M5 connected DtD

I have a NanoStation M5 (XW version) connected via its secondary port to port 4 of an AirRouter HP.  The NanoStation shows up as a current neighbor on the AirRouter node.  When I try to access the NanoStation through the current neighbor link, it will not connect.  I get the error "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED" from my browser.  Note that I can access the NanoStation if I plug my computer directly into the NanoStation LAN port.  I would appreciate any help you could offer resolving this connection problem.

Try a different browser perhaps or clear your browser cache?

Here are screenshots of the two nodes.  I had to connect my computer to the LAN port of the NanoStation to get the W2JCL-NSM5-1 screenshots.

Go into the Port Forwarding,

Go into the Port Forwarding, DHCP, and Services page in both nodes.
Click on Del next to the reservation for W6JCL-Dell and then click on Save Changes.

Take screen captures of both nodes Mesh Statas page and post here.

Here are the new screenshots.  I should also mention that I have tried turning off DHCP on the NanoStation.  This does not help, and it ultimately renders the node unreachable, because it won't provide a IP address to my computer.

From the Administration page
From the Administration page at the bottom, download the support data and upload the file here (from both nodes).  This will give detailed information to look through to diagnose.

One more item to note.  I just read another Forum post about the blockknownencryption package.  I recently added this package, and it might be part of the problem.  Since adding this package my tunnel server is no longer working.  I also note that the NanoStation M5 connected to my AirRouter never showed any WAN access, although the AirRouter itself has WAN access.

Problem solved

I have confirmed that my problem was caused by the blockknownencryption package.  I re-flashed the AirRouter and configured it as before but without this package.  My two nodes are now working correctly together.  I would recommend adding a warning to this package, since it does not appear to be working on all devices.  Also note (as mentioned in a separate post to this Forum) it is not sufficient to simply remove the blockknownencryption package.  Re-flashing the device appears to be the only way to undo this package.

Thank you all for your assistance solving this problem.  Please consider this matter solved.
