[Asterisk-Users] problem facing on Firewall, NAT and asterisk

[Isamar Maia]

Hi Prasad,

Install a Asterisk in your DMZ and one Asterisk inside of your Lan.
Set them to use IAX between them passing through your firewall.
A) Your SIP Phones in your lan will connect to your LAN's *.
B) The SIP Phones in the internet will connect to your DMZ's *.
C) A connnects to B through the Asterisk's IAX connection....

SIP doesn't work with firewalls.

Also, next time, post this kind of message in the asterisk-users list.
