asterisk users - Jun 2004 - FWD network from Asterisk through NAT

Hi there,

I'm trying to dial into the FWD network using Asterisk, though a NAT.  The
sources I've read say that it's unconfirmed to work through a NAT, but
I'm
wondering if anyone's done it anyway.  So, anyone got a clue how to do this?

Hank

I use the new IAX service at FWD.  Much easier than trying to sort out
the whole proxy thing with SIP.

I am doing this, but it needs either a static address to the Internet 
(leased line) or in my case I am using dynamic DNS with the ADSL Service. 
Below is the relevant part of SIP.CONF

nat=yes ;
externip = abcde.dyns.net       ; Addr put in SIP messages if we're behind 
a NAT
