Making calls

Hi all,

>From the FAQ:
If it reports "Cone NAT" or "Port
Restricted NAT" you just have to
answer "yes" to the dialog asking you to
activate STUN support. You do
not have to do anything else. You will be reachable from the
outside.

What if I was to make calls? In fact, right now, I'm Port
Restricted
NAT with stun support enabled. I can receive calls but not
make them.
How can I call others? Probably  need to forward some ports?

Cheers,

Hi Paulo,
The STUN/NAT stuff basically tricks your router so that it
know where to
direct the incoming RTP (voice) stream.

In terms of the outgoing RTP stream you do not need to do
anything.


I don't quite understand the 'can not make calls'
comment. Have you
registered with a Dialtone provider (such as ekiga.net or
FreeWorldDialup)?

In which case you should be able to place a call with a URI
like -
sip:500ekiga.net
sip:613fwd.pulver.net

(you only need to put the numerical bit, ie. 500 as the rest
is infered
from your registration). These are the echo server
numbers...


If you are not registered (and don't want to) you can still
make point
to point calls if you know the remote end's IP. In this
case the public
IP will need to be forwarded..... but it's much easier to
register with
a service 

You can register for a free account at www.ekiga.net, and if
you log in
with your user name you can confirm that the system 'sees'
you and shows
you current IP.

Hope this gets you going.
