I have (had) a similar setup at one time. I'm running freebsd/pf on each nat box. Asterisk is behind one, an xten softphone behind the other.

I watched the SIP traffic on both the incoming and outgoing interfaces (pre/post nat) of each box. You can then generally see whats wrong, and as a huge plus, learn a lot more about how SIP/RTP actually works ..

That coupled with the firewall log (I deny/log all by default) and the firewall debut output ( I have had, and am still having in a couple of weird cases, state clashes) you can usually identify the problem ..

Or you could post your details and let someone have a stab at helping, unless there are any psychics here :-)

All,

I have my * box NAT'd with all ports forwarded that are SIP related
(based on Wiki).  I also have nat=yes, externalip=WAN address of
firewall, internalip=LAN network of *.

I have my Xten soft phone on a PC which is NAT'd behind firewall with
ports forwarded.  I have also followed instructions on Wiki for Xten.

I can authenticate fine, and sip show peers shows my extension is OK,
but whenever I dial another SIP or zap channel, I can a "max retries
exceeded" on my * box.

Can somebody post a working config with * behind firewall w/ports
forwarded and xten behind firewall w/ports forwarded?

Thanks,
