[Serusers]internal LAN-Client cant be called from outside

[Marco Achtziger]

Hello,
I'm an IT-Student from Würzburg and i'm working with SER for a project. 
My SER is running on my linux-router and is listening on my LAN on eth0 
and on the internet on ppp0. My problem is, that i can make calls 
between two clients inside the LAN or between two clients who are 
located in the internet. If somebody from the internet wants to call 
somebody in the LAN or reverse i get a request timeout. Also when i want 
to call somebody who is registrated by a different provider i get a 
request timeout, after SER has send the trying message to the client. 
Can anybody give me a hint or are there better how-tos like the ones 
from iptel?
Here is my configuration file. In this i did not do many changes to the 
original file, but i tried a lot.
