FW: Re: [Serusers] SER and NAT and RTProxy

After doing a small bit of testing I have a bit more information which may help identify the problem....Basically I think the problem comes down to nat. I still get the rtp errors mentioned below in the var/log/messages file whether voice works or not(strangely enough)...but here are the scenarios that work and dont work: I have ser and asterisk on a private natted network. They are reached via a router which has a public address and does port forwarding. One my clients(a bt100 hardphone is also on this lan but registers with ser throught the public address anyway...so my understanding is that the bt100's sip register message goes out onto the internet and back in again. Now if the bt100 rings a client (e.g. xlite or windows messenger)or vice versa that are also on this lan...the call works and voice is transmitted (even though they again register through the public address by routing their sip messages onto the internet and back in again). However if the bt100 tries to ring a client not on the lan (on another network which may or may not be behind nat)...np voice is transmitted....Surely this is a nat problem even through the rtp errors are being displayed??.... If anybody has any idea how to fix this or if any more information is required in order to troubleshoot please let me know. Like I mentioned before this must be demoed next week...This natting scenarion worked when clients registered direct to asterisk so i presume its possible with ser. Thanks in advance, Aisling. ---- Original Message ---- From: ashling.odriscoll(a)cit.ie To: serusers(a)iptel.org Subject: FW: Re: [Serusers] SER and NAT and RTProxy Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2005 13:58:14 -0000 Unfortunately this still hasnt worked. I changed the modparam line in ser.cfg and ran rtpproxy again as follows: cd /root/Desktop/rtpproxy ./rtpproxy -s 127.0.0.1 Then I restarted SER. However now voice isnt being transmitted AT ALL...and i cant make it work even by running: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ser.berlios.de:/cvsrot/ser co rtpproxy Whats so weird is that I tested all this on wed evening and everything worked fine, now I repeatedly get the rtp errors documented in my first email on the /var/log/messages file. Does anyone have any more ideas...Im supposed to be demonstrating this sytem as prototype next week and it wont look very impressive if voice wont transmit.... Very stumped, Aisling. ---- Original Message ---- From: info(a)marikar.com To: serusers(a)iptel.org Subject: Re: [Serusers] SER and NAT and RTProxy Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2005 02:30:43 +0100 -------------------Legal Disclaimer--------------------------------------- The above electronic mail transmission is confidential and intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.
