Re: Two endpoin behind NAT need to call each other

I assume the IP Phones are behind the same NAT with GnuGK on the outside of
the NAT. 

This gets very ugly if these phones don't support H.460.18/.19 Even better
if they supported H.460.23/.24/.24A as all you would need to do is just
enable them in GnuGK. :) Since they are dumb IP phones we can ignore that.

The IP phones must have different TCP listening ports (Change one to 1721)
then port forward 1720,1721 to the appropriate device IP address in the
router.

Set in GnuGk
[RoutedMode]
SupportNATedEndPoints=1

[Proxy]
Enabled=1
ProxyForNAT=1
ProxyForSameNAT=0

This should allow the 2 IP phones to call each other without having proxy
the media through the gatekeeper. The media will go directly between them.

Something to consider, Some routers these days ship with an H.323 ALG built
in which assist getting H.323 to work behind a NAT, nice idea but sometimes
bad execution. I have a NETGEAR device which has one and I can't switch it
off and no matter what I did I was unable to get 2 H.323 devices to work
behind the same NAT (even with .18/.19/.23/.24). In the end I added a (2) in
front of both the local endpoint TCP listening port (1720 became 21720) and
the gatekeeper RAS address (1719 became 21719) and was able to bypass it
successfully.

Subject:  Two endpoin behind NAT need to call each other

Hi List;

I have two end points (IP Phones), both of them behind NAT, and need to let
them to talk to each other via the gnugk, what are exactly needed to be
done?

1) Do I need to do port forward configuration on the router? To which ports?
2) What the best settings to be done on the gnugk?

Regards
Bilal
