So I have * box ---- shorewall/linux NAT firewall ---- internet ----- WRT54G with openwrt ----- IP500
I have 5060, 4569, and 10000 through 20000 forwarded to * box from internet. I have tried everything I can think of on the wrt to get it to work but it appears, looking at tcpdump that my phone is trying to get to the * box (I can get one way audio with port mapping in the WRT) using the 192.168.x.x address it has as its internal interface... Is there a way to force the IP500 to use the public IP of the * box for RTP? Then it should work...

If your * box is behind NAT you need to screw around a little, but for situations like this: * box --- [internet] --- [nat dsl router] --- IP501 all you do is set 'nat=yes' on the * box, in the IP501's peer setting. That's it. It even works with multiple IP501s behind the same NAT DSL router. If you have a stupid NAT box that closes ports off too quickly or plays too many games with the packets you may need some additional configuration (shorter registration expirations, etc.) but just buy a decent NAT box... WRT54Gs work just fine in their default configuration, for example. -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 -- No virus found in this incoming message.
