Hi. I'm new to the list and was hoping I could ask a couple questions. I have a branch office VPN connection to a corporate office using an iptables based firewall. I have an Avaya IP Phone that connects to the corporate office, sometimes. The first time I turned the phone on it tried for four days before connecting. After a firewall problem, I lost my VPN connection breifly and this time it took three hour to reconnect. After the next VPN outage the phone still has not reconnected, and that was a week ago. Each time the phone successfully connected it stayed up and was very stable until I lost my connection the next time. So far I've learned that using these protocols through an iptables based firewall is difficult at best. Someone suggested I look at gnugk as a possible solution. I have been looking at it and have download the windows binaries to try out. I'm pretty confused about how to configure it for my situation, and if it will even work. To be honest, I'm not looking to become an expert on gnugk or H323, I just simply want my phone to work. I looked at the interoperability list and my phone was not listed. I think my configuration would look like this: phone <-> gnugk <- VPN -> gnugk <-> Avaya PBX 192.168.1.11 192.168.1.12 iptables 10.0.0.16 10.0.0.20 If that diagram is right, I don't see how to configure this. I point my phone at gnugk, but how does gnugk on the other end know to route it to the Avaya PBX? Am I looking at this too simply? Anyone willing to give me some help on this?
