This is an endless loop. Which means their is a problem with the
configuration.
If i lookup the IP for genestate.com i get 62.78.46.80. If understand it right
you just forwards the port 5060 from the public IP to the private IP
10.194.217.5, right?
In this case the uri==myself will not work, because Ser will just listen on
the private IP (which DNS name this have ever). Because of this every request
hits the t_relay, which looks up the destination IP (62.78.46.80) and send it
their again. You can try to add 'alias=genstate.com', but generaly you will
encounter probably MANY problems with Network Address Tranlastion (NAT). And
if you use NAT on both sides of the setup this will probably not work without
additional work.

and that goes on forever. it just times out if i do
the -vv option.
all the while this is going on, i get messages like these in the message
log:

i have posted my config to my site
(http://www.genestate.com/debug/sip/ser.cfg)
i have not taken any special steps as far as firewall routing or anything
like that other than forwarding port 5060 as i said previously.
I do not know anything about the config directives you just spoke of so I
do not know how to answer you.
i think the beast thing would be for me to start from scratch and do it
properly with help from someone who knows more that me as I have probably
screwed this attemp :)
thanks again
