[Serusers] Call connections take too long

[jerk face]

Ok, I found the problem.
It appears that I left the STUN server settings
configured on my SIP client.
This was causing the delay I was talking about.  I was
using one of the IP addresses on the Vovida website
for their free STUN servers (for testing purposes).
When I remove the STUN server settings I can make a
call if the SIP client is on a static IP address.

Now when the client is behind the NAT, all sounds stop
after the first ring.

So now I'm not sure if this is a problem with my SER
configuration, my Asterisk configuration, or my SIP
client configuration.

Any ideas?

Thank you for your time.
