[Asterisk-Users] No audio? Update your Asterisk

Wed Feb 1 23:01:01 MST 2006

FIXED!!!

Finally got some free time to really look into it while not rusing around
with work.

The problem boiled down to this:

IN sip.conf:

 externip = X.X.X.X ;Outside address
      localnet = 10.73.73.133 ;Inside address
       localmask = 255.255.255.0 ;Inside subnet

This worked for months & months & months  (since mid 2005) with no
problems for me.

I do remember seeing the warnings about changing it to the new format
quite awhile back but forgot about it.

What I had to do was simple:

Changed it to the new format --

externip = X.X.X.X ;Outside address
localnet = 10.73.73.0/255.255.255.0 ;Inside address

Now everything works! and I have working sip to sip audio once again!
The world smiles on my RTP packets once again.

Was strange how it all failed on Jan, 25 along with the 'time bomb'
failure/problem that everyone else had.

Seems that this had something to do with it!

Simple fix but a major hair pulling experience to track it down in spare
time. :-)

Thanks for the help and I hope I didn't waste your time too badly here.
