[Serusers] can't establish calls whenever using outbound proxy

Hi again! I used the nathelper.cfg from the cvs to use ser as an outbound proxy with rtpproxy. I commented out some parts which I thought I would not be needing. rtpproxy is working fine as well as ser. I placed my outbound proxy with a public ip and two ipphones behind nat. The phones were able to register, however whenever I call one using the other ipphone, my request timeouts and I get a busy signal. However, when i place one ipphone to the public and the other still behind nat. I was able to recieve a ring, calling from the nated to the public. And when both phones are in public, thus bypassing the outbond proxy, my calls go perfectly through. When i checked the dumps at the outbound proxy, it seems the soft switch does not return an "ok signal " or anything at all after recieving an invite with authentication, that is whenever using an OP. Are these symptoms familiar to anybody here? Any help would be most welcome. Btw I posted my ser.cfg file here just in case. # # $Id: nathelper.cfg,v 1.1 2003/11/10 14:15:36 janakj Exp $ # # simple quick-start config script including nathelper support # This default script includes nathelper support.
