[Opensim-users] freeswitch problems (talk button)

[Paul Fishwick]

Olli
 I may have figured out the problem but not a good solution yet. It 
turns out to be a port
or router configuration problem. When I bypassed the Cisco/Linksys 
router, the Talk
button emerges. Also, if your router has DMZ, and you turn it on, then 
this also works.
This is a security risk, however, as it opens up the target machine to 
all ports.  So
the question is: which ports or port ranges are used by the client for 
voice? I've done
searching and tried some combinations but no luck yet.
