I setup ser 0.8.1.2 on fedora core 2.

For some reason I cannot register to the proxy.

(Btw - the SER machine is the first hop).

At first I thought there was a problem at the ser.conf so I disabled the Max-Forwards test.

What I got then was a server error ( the sl_reply_error();)

I guess that for some strange reason the proxy/system cannot decode the sip messages.

(mf_process_maxfwd_header() - returns error when it cannot read the Max-Forwards header and the ser.conf script just jumps over the register process)

Any help would be great.
