Skype does stuff standard SIP doesn't. e.g. AFAIR skype can tunnel its traffic over TCP/80 to take advantage of firewall holes for HTTP traffic. SIP was designed for an IPv6 world where endpoints are direclty exposed to the Internet. You probably have to use a SIP proxy on an unfirewalled public IP to handle your traffic. ( SIP sets up random ports on both end points to exchange voice traffic over. Most firewalls don't sniff SIP traffic and so the inbound packets are dropped. NAT and SIP really don't like each other too much ) Gary
