I have configured the machine to use masquerading, since the comcast IP
address is dynamic, and all of my internal machines can access the
Internet, so I think I am good on this step.

lsmod shows a "conntrack_sip" loaded, so I assume it somehow magically
detects SIP traffic, or is there something more I need for the

This is basically the thought process I have gone through trying to
figure out why this setup is not working, which is why I am frustrated
that it is not working, as everything appears to be configured as needed.
