Symmetrical Nat

[john_van1]

I'm trying to figure out how to port forward/trigger so that i can bypass the symmetrical nat problem.

 

I use a netgear WGT624 wireless router

[pythonpoole]

TCP Ports 5060-5061

UDP Ports 5060-5061, 8000-16000

 

That should do the trick. Note that I was pretty sure you needed TCP 5060 but Etalk only tries to open UDP 5060 in the firewall, so I'm not sure, thus I recommend doing both.

I tried that but when i call it still has no sound on either side. And it still says that the NAT or router is symmetric

 

and it says this when i call "Unable to auto-detect public IP. Using private IP"

All the problems you talk about are highly indicative of a port forwarding issue.

 

For instructions on port forwarding for your router, please see

http://portforward.com/english/routers/por...T624/X-Lite.htm

 

Also remember you must also forward/allow the same ports on any software based firewall you have running on the PC (e.g. Windows Firewall, Norton, ZoneAlarm, etc.).

I use a mac

 

and i've tried the port forwarding on my netgear router, i can't seem to get it to work still?

 

Any suggestions?
