[Serusers] pinging my server

[Cory Zue]

Hi,

I'm very new to ser, and am trying to make sure that my server is 
alive.  Unfortunately, I am behind a firewall and installing remotely 
on another computer.  I have gotten ser installed, but can't tell if it 
is working correctly.  When I try to ping the server using sipsak, this 
is what I get:

sipsak -T -s sip:user1 at 172.18.1.100
warning: IP extract from warning activated to be more informational
0: 172.18.1.100 (0.219 ms) SIP/2.0 483 Too Many Hops
1: 172.18.1.100 (7.897 ms) SIP/2.0 478 Unresolveable destination 
(478/TM)
         without Contact header

I am doing this from the computer that I installed the server on, 
because this is the only access I have that isn't behind a firewall.

The serctl moni tool seems to indicate that the server is functioning, 
but I'm having trouble telling.

Also, is there a tool that I can use (i.e. Kphone), to set up two 
clients on the same machine as the server and test if I can make calls? 
  I would need a command line interface to the tool.

thanks,
Cory
