RE: [Serusers] Problem with ATA186 and NAT (Linksys).

I actually tried that once, but I tried it again just to be sure. My linksys is LAN side is 192.168.51.X. So my Linksys is 192.168.51.1 and my ATA is 192.168.51.153. I put 192.168.51.1 in the NATIP field. It worked....so to prove that's the solution, I removed it, and it still works. So that's not the solution. Out of curiosity, Can anyone say what this NATIP field actually accomplishes? Asterisk doesn't require you to populate that field with anything. My understanding of the mechanics behind NAT is that, if the router receives a request for a port that is already mapped to another user, it will assign a new port. That's what was happening here. 5060 was already mapped to another user (I believe a softphone on my PC), so it used 15060. So, it sends to SER 5060 from 15060. SER should respond to 15060 from 5060, Router will tranlate the 15060 to 5060 and deliver it to my ATA. The problem was that SER was sending to 5060 instead of 15060. I suspect that the original mapping in the router expired, so now it's using 5060 instead of 15060, which is allowing it to work. So, to test this theory, I fired up XTEN on my PC. Sure enough, it's mapping another, but now, SER is responding with the proper port. I'm wondering if that section of code in my ser.cfg file that is calling the nathelper commands if the originator is an ATA is actually causing damage rather than fixing things? (I got that code from someone else who suposedly got this all working with ATA behind a NAT) I'm going to have to wait until this mapping times out again to try it back around the other way. If anyone else has ideas, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll report my findings when things time out. Thanks!

SER version Sip EXpress router (0.8.12 (i386/linux)) Below is my ser.cfg file (IP addresses changed, of course). My situation is pretty simple: ATA186 --A-- Linksys router --B-- Cable modem --C-- SER ATA sends out invite with 5060 as src and dest. (verified through ethereal on lan segment A) Linksys translates the 5060 to 15060 (verified at Lan segment C with tethereal) SER tries to respond with "Authorization required", but is sending the respond to 5060 instead of 10560. Linksys receives the packet to 5060, but isn't expecting it so it goes nowhere. What the heck am I doing wrong?
