[Partysip-dev] Problems getting started

[Craig Graham]

I have a Linux box acting as a NAT gateway for a few Windows PCs. I am
trying to use Messenger to talk to people elsewhere via sip.

I've downloaded and installed libosip, partysip and the new version of
iptables and cannot get partysip to start if I have nat=on in the config
file. If I comment out the line or change it to nat=off then the server runs
and Messenger can sign into it but cannot connect offsite. This is the
diagnostic output with nat=on

address@hidden init.d]# /usr/local/bin/partysip -d6

I had some problems compiling; setting the shell variable "-DALPHA_FIREWALL"
did not seem to do anything, so I had to manually add it in the
config.status file after running configure and before running make. It does
not show up in partysip -V, although it does now show up in
partysip-configure. Here is the relevant output;

address@hidden init.d]# /usr/local/bin/partysip-config --cflags

Here's the evidence that I have the latest libosip;

address@hidden init.d]# ls -l /usr/local/lib/libosip*

I've now been through everything I can think of and hope you can suggest
something!
