Specs: Asterisk 1.4.22 running behind a SonicWall (transparent mode)
with a public IP address. We have our phone system setup as 172.16.2.x
that connect through the SonicWall to Asterisk. Incoming calls work
flawlessly and we no longer get one-way audio. We are only using SIP
(3 trunks now, instead of 2) and having all 3 in use is not an issue.

Problem: Make a call on a Polycom 320 IP phone to any number and (4/5
times) it will drop the call after 30 seconds. I noticed that the
little timer that pops up on the LCD on the phone is missing when a
call will be dropped. This timer appears when the phone is answered,
so I have about 30 seconds to talk to them before the call is just
dropped.

Known Causes: It's a NAT issue, I know that much, I just don't know
how to fix it. SIP debugging shows that it attempts to retransmit
packets to my phone and since it can't, it drops it after 30 seconds.

Doesn't matter if I have my SIP phone setting as nat=yes or nat=no.

Settings:

Outbound to Bandwidth.com: nat=no
Inbound from Bandwidth.com: nat=no
<Tried nat=yes on 1 and both. No effect>

SIP Phone:
nat=yes <doesn't matter if it's nat=no>
qualify=yes

SonicWall stuff I can't really post, but if you ask about it, I can
answer. Basically, we have an interface that's the phone system that
is assigned a static IP. SIP transformation is on and consistent NAT
is off under VOIP settings. The phone interface has VOIP/SIP allowed
and just blocks intrusion attempts.

Question: Why does it sometimes work and sometimes not? This makes no
sense and it happens on all phones. Any suggestions?
