hi, thanks for the quick response, its great of you to help out :)

ok here's a summary of all the probs.

using msn messenger i can connect to the ser server at my house from my home
lan. i cannot connect to the server at work nor can i connect from work to
my house.

if i use sipsack from the server itself i get

[3:03pm]maiden:~% /usr/local/bin/sipsak-0.8.1/sipsak -T -s \
sip:matthewh at genestate.com

and that goes on forever. it just times out if i do the -vv option.

all the while this is going on, i get messages like these in the message
log:

i have posted my config to my site
(http://www.genestate.com/debug/sip/ser.cfg)

i have not taken any special steps as far as firewall routing or anything
like that other than forwarding port 5060 as i said previously.

I do not know anything about the config directives you just spoke of so I do
not know how to answer you.

i think the beast thing would be for me to start from scratch and do it
properly with help from someone who knows more that me as I have probably
screwed this attemp :)

thanks again
