asterisk users - Apr 2005 - Remote Phones - No Audio In Either Direction

Hi,

After months of testing Asterisk, I am finally ready to roll it out, 
replacing my previous VOIP server (brekeke's ondo SIP Server), which was 
very restrictive.

However, I am experiencing some problems with phones which are on a 
different network to the server (connecting via the internet).  I have 
managed to get the phone to register with the Asterisk server, and I can 
make a call and hear it ringing, but once connected no audio can be heard in 
either direction.

I have opened the following ports: 5004, 5060, 5061 and 10000 - 10010 on my 
router, but am still having no joy.

When I used ondo, I had to add my WAN IP address to the configuration files, 
so I was wondering if I have to do that in some .conf file in Asterisk ?

Hope someone can help ?

Thanks, Paul.

I had this problem on a vpn ( highly recommended, given how easy it is 
to implement openvpn now ).  I changed the IP address in the SIP file to 
my server ( 192.168.1.1, remember, on a vpn ), everything just worked.

Good luck

Sean

Check externip= in sip.conf

Hi,

Thanks Sean,

Can I add two lines to bindaddr in sip.conf, so its like this;

bindaddr = 10.x.x.x    ; Local IP address
bindaddr = 81.x.x.x    ; WAN IP address

So that both internal and external phones see the server ?

Paul.
