[Serusers] xlite voice session

Here's what my ser.cfg file looks like. I'm still unable to get a voice
conversation going using xlite. I can establish a connection between two
xlite ua, but seems like my rtp packets are blocked somewhere. I have
rtpproxy installed and running. When I run SER it sees rtpproxy running and
enables support for it. I'm running SER in debug mode so I can see the
messages.

Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong in my ser.cfg file?
By the way, I'm running this on Redhat.

Thanks.

Hi

get rtpproxy from CVS and set it up and it will work.
I'm doing the same way you are right now

a couple of days ago I post a message on the list
with the CVS command to download rtpproxy and the
URL of SER config to use it with nathelper

Hope this helps
