Bogdan,
Thanks for the reminder, this is a question that I don't know the answer, as I'm struggling to understand the whole configuration. I will try to find out why it is called:).
BTW, I always want to see if I can make SER a powerful server with following configuration:
1. Check if SIP end point(base on the SIP message, like Register, Invite) is behind the NAT, if it is with private IP, then use SER NAThelper for SIP Message and RTP Proxy for RTP. 2. If it is with public IP, check if its IP and Source port is as claimed in the SIP Message(Invite, Register, etc), if yes, then proceed to treat this SIP end point with public IP. 3. If 2 is not true, then this end point may use STUN with wrong detection result, then we treat it as in 1.
I wonder if there is any sample configurations for reference?

Hi Bill,
you should you call force_rtp_proxy() for a REGISTER?
regards, bogdan

The issue is, this is a SIP Registration message, it certainly does NOT contain SDP, in fact there are other SIP messages that does NOT contain SDP message but still need nathelper to recognize it behind a NAT so that OPENSER can send response back to the client correctly.
In summary, nathelper should be able to base on the SIP message to handle
it
correctly.

Anyone knows why I keep getting following error message?

The message says it, and your SIP message proves it: the SIP message has no
body.
nathelper operates on the SDP body, it mangles them (together with
rtpproxy)
so that the SDP body sent to the receiver contains the address of your machine running OpenSER instead of the real phone. This is so that the machine can act as RTP proxy on network edges.
Since your SIP message has no SDP body there is nothing nathelper can do
:-)
