Ravi,

Are you sure that is the IP address of your Asterisk server?   If you 
are following / using CIDR then

192.168.5.0/24
192.168.5.0 = network address
192.168.5.255 = broadcast

Valid IPs in that range are 192.168.5.1-254 usable

Did you get everything working?

if you're doing it this way, like 10000-10020 and then set your rtp ports in
asterisk to the same range.
