Asterisk works perfectly fine in back of a NAT firewall, as long as all of your SIP phones are also in back of that same fire wall ;-)
Seriously, I'd fix this if I knew enough about SIP protocol. Is anyone willing to write up what is required at the "bit and byte level"? One thing that could help is try this and report findings: X-Lite _can_ dail out to FWD through a firewall but Asterisk can't. SO this gives us the perfect chance to compare the content of outbound packets where we have a working and non-working example. I'd look into hacking Asterisk to mimic the X-Lite generated SIP protocol. Put the result on the wiki. Doing this will greatly speed up the fix. --- WipeOut <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Mark Evans wrote: > > >Hi All > > > >Has anything been done to fix the issue where the * box is sat > behind a > >nat firewall? > > > >Regards > > > >Mark > > > > > > > As far as I know it can't be done..
