Hello experts, Thank you for helping me out in my previous post. While speaking with a paying customer (rare commodity these days) it appeared that he uses a big ISP that supplies him with NAT. The supplied NAT rotate to symmetric NAT from time to time. So, at the times when it become Symmetric NAT we can only have half duplex conversation. I.E I can see/hear him but not vice versa. Transferring to Skype the connection is superb both ways (Which might explain why they got all those billions while we are still in the garage). I understand that Skype uses its clients as gateways to transverse RTP when one client is behind such a NAT. We cant use this solution as we supply commercial service and we cant hook up to someone else utility. So, here comes the big one: How do we overcome such a situation? Thanks for your help, mik
