Let's see if I'm reading this correctly. By changing to canreinvite=yes, are you expecting the asterisk box to act as a router, passing rtp traffic from your sip provider through the box to a sip phone with a private address (without passing asterisk code in the middle of the rtp session)? If I read the above correctly, best guess is it will be very difficult if not impossible to accomplish. The logic behind that guess is... sip reinvites occur on udp 5060 and you only have one external IP address on the box. If the sip provider sends reinvite traffic to your extern IP (intending it to go to private address 192.168.5.6 sip phone), what is going to catch that packet and decide where to send it? The extern IP with udp 5060 is already in use by asterisk code. You might be able to reconfig the asterisk box and map another registered IP address on its external nic for each internal sip phone. Wouldn't even care to guess how that might actually work. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
