Now you have confused me. In the answer to a) you say that for each SIP client I say nat=yes and it will work, yet here you say this wouldn't work if both clients are going to be SIP. > Since IAX has less problems with NAT traversal it might work fine - > try setting canreinvite=yes in your iax.conf and monitor > rtp traffic at the asterisk CLI You have confused me again.
