Here's what my ser.cfg file looks like. I'm still unable to get a voice
conversation going using xlite. I can establish a connection between two
xlite ua, but seems like my rtp packets are blocked somewhere. I have
rtpproxy installed and running. When I run SER it sees rtpproxy running and
enables support for it. I'm running SER in debug mode so I can see the
messages.
Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong in my ser.cfg file?
By the way, I'm running this on Redhat.
Thanks.

Hi
get rtpproxy from CVS and set it up and it will work.
I'm doing the same way you are right now
a couple of days ago I post a message on the list
with the CVS command to download rtpproxy and the
URL of SER config to use it with nathelper
Hope this helps

That computer is
behind a netgear router. The router itself has the public ip address. My
computer is on a lan as well. I'm behind linksys router. This router has a
separate public ip address. My SER server is located in a separate
location
from the two computers. The SER server has a public ip
address.
I've configured my ser.cfg file to use nathelper but I'm not using
mediaproxy or rtpproxy. I agree that the RTP packets are getting blocked
somewhere along the way. I'm guessing I can rectify the problem by using a
mediaproxy or a rtpproxy. I'm still new to SER and sip so I'm not sure how
to install and setup the mediaproxy and the rtpproxy.
Thanks for your response Bruno.
