Are you kidding me? I used to think that anything SIP was a pain behind NAT until I turned on 'nat=yes' for the peer/user/friend entry in sip.conf and told the IP501 to register to the Asterisk box. (All defaults too, no special hyper-fast register interval or goofy Polycom configuration at all.) And even after that I wouldn't believe it until I had three of them behind a plain-jane WRT54G on standard Telco dynamic IP ADSL talking to my Asterisk box connected through third-party ADSL. Calls go out, calls come in, it's as if they're on the same LAN. Seriously: It Just Works. I keep popping into #asterisk-dev and thanking OEJ. I'm still not a huge fan of SIP but I have had *no* issues with Polycom IP501s behind NAT talking to an Asterisk box on a real IP. -A. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
