[Serusers] no audio problem if clients behind NATs - sr-users

6 May 2004


      Hi all,
I am using ser 0.8.12 with nathelper and rtpproxy. When I tried to make
a call between two clients which are behind the same NAT, everything
work fine. However, when I try to make a call between clients which are
behind different NATs, niether client can hear each other's audio. my
configuration file is shown in the end of this message. Can someone help
me, please?
Thanks,
Dan.

# simple quick-start config script including nathelper support
# This default script includes nathelper support. To make it work
# you will also have to install Maxim's RTP proxy. The proxy is enforced
# if one of the parties is behind a NAT.
#
# If you have an endpoing in the public internet which is known to
# support symmetric RTP (Cisco PSTN gateway or voicemail, for example),
# then you don't have to force RTP proxy. If you don't want to enforce
# RTP proxy for some destinations than simply use t_relay() instead of
# route(1)
#
# Sections marked with !! Nathelper contain modifications for nathelper
