[Asterisk-Users] Behind Firewalls, SonicWalls, etc..

[John Sutter]

I've searched the archives a bit and have not really come up with
a good answer to my queries.

I have * running on a RH9 box behind a LinkSys NAT box.  I can talk
with iConnectHere outbound just fine.  I am trying to configure an
inbound Xten softphone from outside.  I have that user set as NAT in
sip.conf (seems to help), but I still cannot establish a full session.
I think the problem comes when * sends info about the RTP connection,
it passes the nonroutable address.  Is there a ways to tell it to use
the firewall IP address for users coming in through that address(and the
firewalls nonroutable address).

On the flip side, I have run out of port forwarding slots on my LinkSys,
so I am trying to resurrect my old startup's SonicWall PRO.  They indicate
they support SIP, but they do not elaborate upon that at all.  Anyone have
comments concerning the SW & SIP?

So far I have an ATA-186, a DG104S, as well as a TDM400P and X100P with
service from iConnectHere.  I hope to ship either the ATA-186 or DG104S
to Australia when I figure out how to deal with them remotely.

Thanks,
