asterisk users - Feb 2005 - Conecting to asterisk server through NAT using IAX

Hello,

I have asterisk setup with Broadvoice.
It works great as PBX and Outgoing calling server for all local clients
withing 192.168.1.0 network. My asterisk is running over NAT.
I use linksys router.
Now, I am trying to connect from outside to my asterisk server.
I use Diax as iax client.
For some reason I cannot connect to my server from outside.
On my router I forward those ports to my asterisk server.
5060-5063
10000-20000
5036
4569

It works ok with broadvoice, but clinets cannot connect to the server.
This is my iax.conf file
[general]
port=5036
tos=lowdelay
jitterbuffer=no
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=ilbc
allow=gsm
allow=adpcm
allow=alaw

register => xxx:xxx@gwiax-in-01.voicepulse.com

[guest]
type=user
context=abcxyz
auth=none

[voicepulse-in-01]     ; <-- Name must be [voicepulse-in-01]
type=user
context=voicepulse-incoming ; <-- Should match the context you
                       ;     are using in extensions.conf
auth=rsa
inkeys=voicepulse01

[tester]
type=friend
context=sip
auth=plaintext
secret=secrwt
host=dynamic
allow=all
nat =1

Clients cannot connect to asterisk. WHY???
Am I doing something wrong?

Please help.

Thanks

Bart

For IAX, only port you have to forward is 4569 UDP

Notice the UDP, not TCP

I'm using Linksys WRT54G and it works without a hitch.

well, here's your problem, port=5036. This is not the standard IAX
port. comment that line or replace it with port=4569
