Brian,
I'm probably not the only one here, but much of what I have to do to get Freeswitch going is new to me. Never installed or really worked with Linux and scripting; just a little xml. It is challenging. Freeswitch is interesting, appealing and challenging. The work your group has done is amazing. Given this, interacting with you can be intimidating. I am experiencing the slow start with build 13532. I assume that "block all ICMP" refers to the firewall/gateway. If this is correct, why is it that I can ping the firewall from the Freeswitch box? Can you explain in more detail what it might be on my network that is blocking ICMP? All my clients and Freeswitch itself are behind a NAT firewall. Thanks Lars Linux fs 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 #1 SMP Thu May 7 10:39:21 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian West Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 3:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Make current fails (build 13537) NO its not a bad one at all. Its switch_nat_init(); in switch_core.c since your network must be eating the packets its sending out to detect if you're behind nat or not... and not getting an ICMP unreachable like it should be getting... the joys of admins that block all ICMP like idiots. ICMP has many uses... and outright blocking it is stupid. (This is my assumption cuz its what makes sense in this case) So you're getting hit by the nice retry/timeout loop in the natpmp software we just added and possibly the upnp lib too. So for now edit switch_core.c and comment out switch_nat_init(); I'm working my ass off to ensure that our users that do have to live in these insane nat scenarios can do so without much if any pain. Most of which uses SMB/Consumer grade routers which these two libs we added would allow us to poke holes and setup stuff and make it painless as possible. Soon you'll have an option in switch.conf.xml to turn it off. Please next time don't be so demanding and calling builds brain dead .. when in fact its trying to become more aware of its network config without much user input. /b On Jun 1, 2009, at 5:24 PM, Nik Middleton wrote: Well I can only assume build 13537 is brain dead. Surely I shouldn't have to edit a whole bunch of configs to get it working. FS now takes 3 minutes to start, with no indication as to what it's looking for in the logs. That said, to date 'make current' has always worked well for me. Guess I was bound to hit a bad one eventually. Still, it's very frustrating.
