Did you have to forward any ports to the box running X-Lite (or is that one behind a NAT?) Thanks :) Ted Geoff Nordli wrote: -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of programmer_ted Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2004 8:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Asterisk-Users] X-Lite to Asterisk through NAT? Hi there, I have an X-Lite phone on my box and I'm trying to register it with a remote Asterisk box. Both the X-Lite and Asterisk are behind a NAT. I know it's a pain to do because of SIP not working well with NATs, but I know there are ways to do such a thing...moving the Asterisk box outside the NAT is not a possibility at the moment. One thing we tried was setting up a VPN, but I can't have the VPN server and a VPN client running on the same machine, because they use the same port (non-configurable). I can't set the VPN up on the Windows XP machine, because that only allows one user to be connected, and we need at least two. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Ted Hi Ted. I managed to get it to work today. These are steps I took. On my firewall I port forwarded 5060, 10000-11000 UDP to the internal Asterisk box. In the sip.conf file I made these changes: nat=yes externip = public.ip.address On the X-lite phone I pointed the SIP Proxy to the public.ip.address that was set above in the sip.conf file. Good Luck.

This solution worked for outbound calls, but I don't think this solution will work for calls that are made to the x-lite client that is hiding behind the NAT device. The reason why outbound calls will work is because the NAT device was stateful so it will automatically keep the channel open. When calls are made from Asterisk to the X-lite device it will try to connect a given port but it won't be able to unless the port is open. It looks like there are some options within X-lite that allow you to nail down the RTP port and you could probably do some port forwarding on the NAT device based on the RTP port that you select. Does anyone have any recommendations on the configuration? Geoff --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
