Hi All Yes I know double Nat is a problem But I have a Cisco 7960 which is remote from the * PBX ad connected via the Internet. Each side has NAT (1) Sometimes it will work often it won't. And when it decides to work is random Always (2) The Register side works fine. SIP SHOW PEERS has the phone listed with the correct IP address and an average Qualify time (121 ms) Always (3) You can make calls outbound with the Cisco phone through the * PBX Problem (4) You can not receive any calls (when not working correctly) (a) The Phone rings but not voice goes through (b) Sometimes get a 481 "Call Leg Does Not Exist" (c) Sometimes get a -- is circuit-busy (5) On a reload of the * box you will 95 % sure loose the connection if it was working ? (6) SIP 5060 - 5063 and RTP 10000 - 25000 is open and port forwarded on both sides (7) All calls are VoIP and terminate or originate via a VoIP Provider Anybody got any ideas, I have tried everything Thanks All Barry

At least that was my experience after spending MANY hours working on a solution. Well I came up with a solution, and it was to remove the double NAT, at least to layer 3 of the stack. OpenVPN saved the day. Thanks, Steve Totaro
On the 7960 with a SIP image, Press the <Settings> button and go to option 4 "SIP Configuration". Scroll down to line "24 NAT Enabled" and set it to yes. Then set "25 NAT Address" to the external IP address. This will need to be manually changed every time the phone's router pulls a new DHCP lease. In your sip.conf, make sure that you have nat=yes and qualify=yes. I have had double-NATed 7960s work with this setup, but you are at the mercy of the routers involved in performing the NAT. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Barry Fawthrop Sent: Sunday, September 24, 2006 5:03 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [asterisk-users] Cisco 7960 Double Natted Hi All Yes I know double Nat is a problem But I have a Cisco 7960 which is remote from the * PBX ad connected via the Internet.
