I use Linux/iptables for a firewall
and it seems that in sip.conf
canreinvite=no has been magic for me!

It's fixed one-way audio problems for me in just about every case I have ever run across so far.

This seems to be an 'easy fix' but I understand from other posts it might be a waste of Internet bandwidth in many cases.


I'm still a newbie (3 weeks at it now)

Have got all kinds of neat things to work and work great except still cannot get a successful outbound call to work via a sip provider! :-)
and I have tried more than just one sip service provider.
that's another thread....


Take care!

Hello,

I've been fighting one-way-audio issues with asterisk and SIP
extensions for some time..., and  I want to share with you my findings
;)

My setup:
   * 1 ADSL router (Zyxel)
   * 1 Asterisk box with private IP, and interesting ports forwarded to it.
   * Several extensions, some local some remote

The problem:
   * External extensions behind double nat don't get audio when they
initiate a call. But if the extension receives the call, there is no
problem.

The fix:
   * Get a Linksys WRT54G, and setup the adsl router in bridge mode,
giving the public IP address to the WRT.
  * Setup port forwarding and QoS (optional)
  * Enjoy VoIP ;)


I don't know the exact reasons why this happens, but it works ;).

Julian.
