[Asterisk-Users] chan_sip.c:495 retrans_pkt: Maximum retries exceeded on call

Update...

I did some more testing today.. And with the same setup but one box
behind a Linksys router and another box behind a Pix firewall.. The
linksys works with no problems... So it appears to be how the PIX is
handling NAT & SIP...  If any one has any thoughts on this , it would be
greatly appreciated.

And thank you James for the support you have given today.

Thanks,

gcc

Do I need to associate the outside interface of the PIX with the phone
on the inside.. I don't remember doing this before...

Setup ----

* Server ---> PIX FW ---> WWW CLOUD ----> PIX FW ---> IP Phone

Again the only difference than before is the First PIX FW.... Old setup
was.... (Different server though)

* Server ----> Linksys Router ----> WWW CLOUD ----> PIX FW ----> IP
Phone

Any thoughts?

The pings are pinging the out side port on the nat device,  You don't 
have a
rule in your nat table to associate it with a device on the inside.  You

should
reset the phone and then see if the qualify shows a return time.  You
will need to make the phone register every time you change you config
till the qualify shows a time. A good way to do this is to reboot the
phone. Your nat device will have a default time that it keep nat rules
in its 
table.
Your qualify time will need to be lower then this value.
