I was wondering and trying to figure out how the following idea would work and what might be needed to implement it, can anyone give any suggestions? What I am wanting to do is to setup an asterisk server, primarily so I can get voicemail, call files, and the idea of cheaper long distance by using the internet. What seems like the place that things could get tricky is that I am desiring to place the asterisk server behind a firewall that performs NAT operations on the packets. Any of the SIP phones or ATA devices that would connect directly to my box would also be behind the NAT location. The only passthru to the outside is in the idea of peering with other asterisk boxes, I do have one in mind, that are on the outside of my own NAT box. I am desiring to setup the peering with SIP rather than IAX at least on this main connection. Is there any examples of the VOIP-info website or other places that might be of use in this idea? Or does anyone have suggestions or knowledge of this working for them? -- Dan Adams - webmaster@infochi.com http://www.infochi.net -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

This is not a problem. I do this and a bit more. The IAX protocol helps quite a bit to go thru the NAT. -- Ted Serreyn Phone:262-432-0260 Fax:262-432-0232 Serreyn Network Services, LLC http://www.serreyn.com/ -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Dan Adams Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2005 10:13 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] NAT Asterisk Peering I was wondering and trying to figure out how the following idea would work ?and what might be needed to implement it, can anyone give any suggestions?
