I''m having a hard time getting a video SIP conversation running through our shorewall 4.2.10 firewall. I can initiate the connection from outside to a SNAT mapped inside computer. The ports used are 5060 UDP and dynamic 60000 - 60499 UDP. masq: eth2 10.9.6.10/32 xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa # my outside ipaddress mapped inside for the sake of testing, I''ve decided to open all ports UDP inside and out to this computer only. rules: ACCEPT net loc:10.9.6.10 all ACCEPT loc:10.9.6.10 all When I use conntrack to watch the traffic I see this happen: [DESTROY] udp 17 src=w.x.y.z dst=a.b.c.d sport=60001 dport=60005 packets=77 bytes=4312 [UNREPLIED] src=10.9.6.10 dst=a.b.c.d sport=60001 dport=1193 packets=0 bytes=0 [DESTROY] udp 17 src=w.x.y.z dst=a.b.c.d sport=60003 dport=60007 packets=55 bytes=3104 [UNREPLIED] src=10.9.6.10 dst=a.b.c.d sport=60003 dport=1193 packets=0 bytes=0 The dynamic port is re-written from 60001 to 1193. The weird thing is that I can stop and restart the connection and one out of 30 will work. The odd thing is that I don''t see the dynamic ports open when it does work and it looks like this: [NEW] udp 17 3600 src=w.x.y.z dst=a.b.c.d sport=5060 dport=5060 [UNREPLIED] src=10.9.6.10 dst=64.8.133.51 sport=5060 dport=5060 [UPDATE] udp 17 3600 src=w.x.y.z dst=a.b.c.d sport=5060 dport=5060 src=10.9.6.10 dst=w.x.y.z sport=5060 dport=5060 [UPDATE] udp 17 3600 src=w.x.y.z dst=a.b.c.d sport=5060 dport=5060 src=10.9.6.10 dst=w.x.y.z sport=5060 dport=5060 [ASSURED] I read the FAQ and found the section about adding the following line to shorewall.conf: DONT_LOAD=nf_nat_sip,nf_conntrack_sip Which I did and it didn''t seem to help any... I tried doing a DNAT instead using the following line: DNAT net loc:10.9.6.10 - - - a.b.c.d I also bumped up the connection tracking memory to see if that would take care of the problem and it didn''t. I''ve got this problem even if I start this connection from the inside going out. Has anyone done this before or know what I could look at?
