Ser doesn't send any media. You mean rtpporxy probably.

Yes, you are right. Sorry for not being clear enough.

Some network dumps and your ser.cfg might help.

ser.cfg is at the botton of the message. The scenario is as follows:

The sip server is listening on 194.179.25.52. The user chano@wmserver.hi.inet on the machine sayuritra (private address: 192.168.1.34, public address: 81.35.36.166) calls to the user raquel@wmserver.hi.inet on hobbes (private address: 192.168.1.34, public addess: 80.32.97.245). The messages captured in the sip server are the following (irrelevant messages are omitted):

(so server is waiting for incoming video from sayuritra on port 25608 and audio on 35108)

After the connection has stablished, if we put a sniffer in sayuritra, we can see that there are ICMP 'destination unreachable' packets directed from server to sayuritra on port 25608, that is, the RTP proxy is directing the video packets to a closed port on sayuritra. Oddly, that port is the one where hobbes is listening on, that is, it seems that the RTP proxy is sending packets to the correct port in the wrong machine or, the other way other round, to the right machine in the correct port.

Any ideas?.

Thank you very much, Luciano Bajo
