Just got a net4501 board, installed cf card/Monowall. Does anyone have a monowall firewall with Asterisk behind it, any problems, can external SIP phones work? What firewall rules are you using? Chris Mason Int: (305) 704-7249 Fax: (815)301-9759

Hello, I'm currently working on a new installation and wondering which architecture and protocol I should use... I want to share my Asterisk server between users on my internal LAN and a user connecting via Internet... So, my server has to be reachable from outside and also from inside... For the external user, I'll use a softphone and probably IAX2 ? What about internal users and

I know a SIP client behind a NAT trying to peer with Asterisk behind another NAT is troublesome. Has anyone had any luck doing this by interfacing Asterisk to the WAN using 1:1 NAT translation to give it a public IP while still firewalled? In my instance I'm using m0n0wall, but this is a hardware-neutral question. Thanks. -- Robert Goodyear Brand Up LLC http://www.brand-up.com

Hey Everyone, We are in the works of planning a new * installation for our company. We have 20 users in our main office and 5 users in a remote office a couple of states away. Our call volume for the main office will be anywhere from 5-10 concurrent calls. The remote office will have about 3 heavy users with two users making calls occasionally. Right now we have an existing PBX. We have a

Hi, I'm looking for a good network device that does bandwidth management. It can be integrated in a router or stand-alone, but must be SIP-friendly. I`ve tried the DIR-655 (latest firmware is SIP-hostile, and the latest hardware revisions can't downgrade to the version that worked well) and the DI-724GU (SIP-friendly, but bandwidth management is automated and not configurable

Hi, I am switching a few specific servers with CentOS 4.2 and I'd like to use in some a flash disk (CF card). Unfortunately the minimum size of a centos install seems to be around 600 Mb (at least that's what I got) and 1 Gb card are still expensive and, IMHO too big if all you want is a gateway/iptables machine or a NFS server. There are other OSes and even distros that have a smaller

I'm using a firewall distro called pfSense its based on monowall but uses freebsd. They have a live cd (installer as well) that will not boot properly using an external usb 2.0 drive. Fedora Core 4 and Debian boot just fine using this drive. I got to thinking and wondered if it might be possible to boot pfSense's cd using isolinux instead of BTX. thoughts?

Hi, Last week I finished installing a small network in a private school : one server (an old IBM X225), seventeen desktops (Fujitsu Siemens PIV 2.4 GHZ, 512 MB RAM, 40 GB HD), all running CentOS 5.5. One extra machine is acting as a router, in that it is installed between the DSL modem and the network, with two Ethernet cards, and it's taking care of DHCP, DNS, NTP and also acts like a

Hello all, We've discovered that VoIP (IAX2) + Citrix + Video is pegging the measly CPU on the Netopia router our ISP provided. We've got 3Mb/3Mb and will increase to 4/4 next year. The Netopia simply breaks out our WAN IPs, and we've got a switch hooked up to it on the inside (Actually I've got a QoS box in-between). ------------- | Internet | | on Cat5 | -------------

Hi All, Until now I've only used IAX2 to connect to ITSPs. I've been toying with a SIP connection to Gizmo Project, but not yet successfully. It brings to mind a question. At what point does it make sense to consider a SIP-aware firewall such as those from Ingate? I'd hate to move away from my m0n0wall, which is open source, easy to manage and has served me brilliantly for two

I've looked around briefly for what options are available for encrypting the media stream using asterisk. I did not see any SRTP support, and it looks like there is some initial work on iax2 encryption, but whether it works is still open for question I guess. I'm also curious of other solutions that could be bolted onto the front end of asterisk to provide encryption, and are there

Hi, Does anybody else have problems like this. I'm in the UK with a 1mb ADSL service from Eclipse. I have a Draytek Vigour 2600 ADSL router. My * box is configured with a public IP address which is presented on one of the switch ports on the rear of the router. When there is some SIP activity, incoming mainly, towards my * box, the router will lockup after a short period?! I've tried

Well FWbuilder is NOT easy. The documentation does not match the current GUI. Now the box is locked up. I will have to pull it again, hook it up to a kybd/VGA and reset iptables.... Maybe Shoreline with webmin.... Problem is I want a REAL router/firewall with little work. Both public and private nets have routable addresses. No NATing for me! I just help write the RFC ;) And all the
