[Asterisk-Users] Some SIP Setup problems

[Mike Nash]

Hi Robert

I took it from CVS, and it compiles nicely (after a little help from the group 
here).

My PC has a sound card in it, which works for other applications. I've managed 
to get rid of the sound error by turning the 'idle timeout' on the sound 
server off, after noticing that playing a track in XMMS seemed to stop the 
Asterisk error.

My SIP phone is located on my server at the office, and my Asterisk server is 
at home - both behind NAT'd firewalls.

As you suggested, I have taken the sample config and will try and experiment a 
little from here.  


Regards


Mike
