While the most usual problem is packet filtering / NAT, this generally manifests as no audio at all in one direction, not a drop in mid-call. But it's possible that one of the intermediate transit providers is doing something "clever". (Disabling ping, as you mention in your later email, is often a good indicator of a company with insufficient Clue.) Are you in a position to tunnel the traffic over a VPN or similarly flat and unfilterable network link? (This might be a good idea anyway.) ======== Hello Roger, I'm not in a position to start doing that. The ping is disabled on the firewall that is also doing the NAT (not something the provider does). However the provider is blocking other things (incoming email for example, for outgoing it is something I can understand). The strange thing is it is dropping mid-call, that is the reason I don't think it is only a NAT problem. Another network we use offered us a server so we can test if it is related to the other network we use.
