Hi, Just wondering if anyone can shed light on the following: I have ser installed on a machine with address 172.x.x.x. I want clients to register with a public address 84.x.x.x. I then have natting in place which maps it to a 192.x.x.x address and a router forwards it to the 172.x.x.x address if its a sip message (port forwarding). However I have been trying to register using a windows messenger sip address aisling(a)84.x.x.x and its not working...... Shoulds a scenario like this work? Basically the idea is that anybody on any network can register with this public address (84.x.x.x) which will be natted to 192.x.x.x and forwarded at a router to 172.x.x.x if its a sip message. Thanks! Aisling. -------------------Legal Disclaimer--------------------------------------- The above electronic mail transmission is confidential and intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.
