Does it take an IP address, like "externip=1.2.3.4"? And does it then force the SIP messages for that channel to use the "externip" value instead of the server's local IP address? If so, that's useful; it will help people who know in advance that a certain phone is on one side of a NAT or the other. However, it would be nicer still if it could "fix" the SIP messages only when necessary, using a subnet mask or STUN, as has been proposed. The reason is that hard-coding an IP address to use when communicating with a certain client means you can't have a phone in an office (on the same side of the NAT as Asterisk) during the day, then take the phone home at night (on the other side of the NAT) and have it work without changing sip.conf. -- Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies http://www.tigertech.net/ _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
