Most SIP provider use a far-end NAT traversal device like Jasomi, Acmepacket or Kagoo. The NAT traversal device has the intelligence to figure out the UDP port mapping used by the NAT. SER + nathelper has the effect. For my SER setup, most of the time we can just plug the SIP phone into a router and it will work without any special config. Unfortunately, there're certain firewalls like PIX and MS ISA that will fail. In those cases, your best bet is to do port forwarding or use an outbound proxy. IIRC, Vonage also has the same problem.
require it, not on the laptop nor on the wireless router.
I think as long as the SIP clients open a port on the NATing device and
keep them open so the SIP provider can connect to it, all is well, even
if STUN isn't used.
I was surprised by how easy it was to NAT the Grandstreams. I had
visions of having every device being assigned a static IP and having a
fistful of port forwards assigned to them on the router.
