[Asterisk-Users] Phones that work well through NAT

[Sean Garland]

So how do you get a Polycom phone to work with * over NAT?  I can't seem to get it to work.  If I forward ports, I can get one-way audio, but that’s it.  Looking at a packet capture, it appears that my phone is trying to send data to the internal address of the * server, which is of course, not available from the private side of the NAT lan...  I have a polycom soundpoint IP 500.



Thanks
Sean

I'm really not interested to look back, but IIRC, when using just one
Polycom phone behind NAT we didn't have any problems, but when using
more than one behind the same NAT that is when problems started,
qualify=somethingbutno seemed to help it a bit, but didn't eliminate
the problem.
