The simple thing is that if I have 'externip' set, I can see on a soft phone (running on a PC on the same local subnet as asterisk) that it's seeing a call from another local device as coming from [EMAIL PROTECTED] - which is the external IP and as everything is inside the firewall there is no audio from the soft phone when the call answered. If I comment out the 'externip' line & restart asterisk, the soft phone then correctly sees the local call as being from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I get two-way speech. Re. multiple clients using port 5060, I have seen comments both ways.. This is how I have it at present and it works (without externip, which appears to be down to asterisk sending the wrong info & nothing to do with ports). As has been said elsewhere, if online VoIP services with thousands of connections work with a single port, why should there be a problem smaller numbers of clients?
