Hi, here is something that is bugging me for some time now...any pointers would be great. I am running linux on 1 pc 192.168.x.x and my softphone (Sjphone ) can connect to it from 192.168.x.y without a problem on port 5060. However when i run a softphone on the same linux box where i run asterisk it does not register. I tried even by specifying the host and port in sip.conf and using the same new settings for sjphone yet it can't register. domain and host are both 192.168.x.x...port 5061 for sjphone (tried using other ports too)....user name and secret as proscribed in sip.conf and the sip.conf has the host port settings as 192.168.x.x and 5061. Am i doing something wrong here or i should just forget the idea...i am trying to reroute calls so installing a softphone on one machine gives me a good testing platform without having to use another machine.(because of nat i do not wish to go beyond lan presently)...has someone done this before and could share their experiences...? Any suggestions welcome Thanks niko _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN toolbar!
