Hi Stewart,

I am actually seeing the private IP addresses which is why I am surprised
that the endpoints are not able to communicate with each other. My NAT1 is
my Linksys router, and my NAT2 is a Linux box. My CallSignalPort was
originally 1720, then I changed it to zero, but it did not help. When I
changed Gkrouted and H245routed to zero, and DMZed an EP, I was able to call
the DMZed EP but had no audio on both ends. I them changed to Gkrouted=0,
H245routed=1. The NATed EP called the DMZed EP and audio was heard on the
DMZed EP but the NATed EP has no audio. The NATed EP is the EP on the
Linksys router. Any idea why?

Hi Fernando,

We run with GKRouted=1, H245Routed=1, and of course SupportNATedEndpoints=1,
and have no problems calling between endpoints on different NATs.

I suspect that your NAT1 and/or NAT2 is somewhat, but not properly,
H.323-aware and is corrupting the signaling.

First, make sure that you see the private addresses of both endpoints in the
RCF messages.  If not, the NAT is translating the RRQ, so the GK doesn't
know it's behind a NAT, and can't perform its magic. Then, if the NAT
doesn't handle the protocol perfectly, your call fails. 
You may be able to disable this processing.  Sometimes the setting is in an
unexpected menu such as Intrusion Detection.

Things to try that may help include setting CallSignalPort=1720 (or removing
this if already on!) and changing the setting of Fast Start.

Otherwise, use Ethereal (on both sides of the destination NAT if
needed) to see if and how the packets are being altered.

Good luck,

Stewart
