Yep, you can do this, just requires some port forwarding and special considerations in sip.conf. Here are the details on my setup: - Asterisk has a private IP behind my OFFICE router (ie: NATted). - The SIP client has a private IP behind my HOME router (ie: NATted). I'm doing this _without_ the use of STUN or proxy servers. Here's how it works: - Asterisk's firewall forwards 5060 udp and 10000-20000 udp to * - The SIP client's firewall forwards 5060 udp and 10000-20000 udp to the SIP client - The SIP client has no special settings, just the external IP of Asterisk's firewall for the SIP Server. - sip.conf contains NAT=YES for this particular client - ensure sip.conf's [general] section contains: bindaddr = 0.0.0.0 externip = <external ip> localnet = 255.255.255.0 <-- localnet setting is very important! Works great - I've never had an issue. Cheers, Ryan > > The crux of the matter is this: I have a client behind a NAT trying to > connect to an * behind a NAT.
