	If you do not use LinuxMCE as a firewall/router directly connected to the internet, but use a NAT-router inbetween (for example for security reasons or if you do not want your internet connection to rely on your home-automation-system), there are some errors that ~~occure~~.		If you do not use LinuxMCE as a firewall/router directly connected to the internet, but use a NAT-router inbetween (for example for security reasons or if you do not want your internet connection to rely on your home-automation-system), there are some errors that occur.

	The problem is, that in SIP communication the IP-Address to connect to as well as the port is being reportet by the asterisk server when registering with the sip-provider. But as the Asterisk server cannot know the external (internet) IP and the NAT router traverses the sender port, the address and port reported by Asterisk to the SIP provider are wrong. Some SIP providers compensate for this by recognizing diffences between the reported address and port within the sip packet and the sending address and port, and use the later.

NAT and Dynamic IP: -> qualify setting for phone lines

			Additionally I recommend setting for your phone-lines <pre>qualify=10</pre>
			This has to be done in the /etc/asterisk/sip_additional.conf (Warning: It will be overwritten by the wizard-skripts !!!). This makes asterisk check the connection of the line every 10 seconds with a SIP-Options-Packet, so that connection-losses and reconnection will not go undetected and also to keep the udp-session open in some nat-routers.
