I think now I see where was my mistake. In this setup Asterisk is in the FW zone, not in the LOC one, hence it requires specific rules in order for the packets to flow btw the two of them.

No, Shorewall will **NOT** affect what Asterisk binds to. Shorewall does **NOT** affect the interfaces available to a process, nor the IP addresses the process will be able to detect on those interfaces. If doing "shorewall clear" allows things to start working, then your policies/rules are wrong - because "shorewall clear" only clears the iptables rules etc, it cannot magically make a process bind to interfaces it wasn't bound to before. The fact that you could see the packets entering an interface with wireshark, but Asterisk didn't report anything, does suggest that your policies/rules caused the packets to be dropped. Try "netstat -anp", that will show you what interfaces/ports are being bound to. -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
