Thank you for your responses!

The Asterisk box is being used only as a gateway to call through. It does
nothing but redirect calls to the other sipXecs server.
The signalling works correctly because as soon as the call is connected, the
re-invite message goes out to adjust the ports for the media (correctly I
might add).

The only issue I saw was the the audio port was changed exactly how it
should be, but the video port was never changed at all (the whole public
port 30000-31000 thing). I.E, Phone to PBX port is 30002, PBX to Gateway
30500.
But the video port from the phone is simply passed along, even if it's not
in the PORT RANGE. This allows me to conclude that the sipXbridge is doing
NOTHING with the video port sent from the phone. It would lead me to believe
that then the ALG function that opens/listens on that PARTICULAR port - the
video one - does not know that it should open/listen on that port - hence my
problem.

So, if someone could point to where in the code I can find the
function/method that does the opening/listening of media ports, I think I
could figure it out. I've been trying to dechiper it for days now. I must be
missing something.

Hopefully this is more helpful in understanding my issue.
