One more thing i would like to point out is that softphones like sjphone use some freeware stun server to detect nat on network (as a client ) . Asterisk ( as client ) cannot use external stun server to detect nat type automatically so i think thats why it isnt able to make calls while softphone works . Port forwarding should help here .Also edit sip_nat.conf after port forwarding but it will be a burden to setup if asterisk is on dynamic ip .

exaclty, infact if i use sjphone from an adsl connection (using a<br>modem) with sjphone i can make a call to the server with SIP<br>application<br><br><br>> thats case then asterisk should be able to call it like any other program or

<br><br>I'll check some NAT configuration, many thanks to your reply.<br>_______________________________________________<br>--Bandwidth and Colocation provided by <a href="http://Easynews.com">Easynews.com</a> --<br><br>asterisk-users mailing list
