Hey all, this is my first post to this mailing list, so please be gentle. I recently got a job at a VoIP carrier. I am trying to learn more about SIP, and have set up a lab on my workstation. Right now I am running centOS in a virtual machine (guest OS) and that is where I've installed freeswitch 1.0.6 (stable). Freeswitch starts with no issues (though getting it to run with init.d doesn't seem to be happening, not a big deal though considering this is just for playing). However checking netstat doesn't show any ports being opened by freeswitch. The centOS install has the firewall and SELinux both disabled so there's no reason no ports should be open that I can tell. On the guest OS I've got ekiga installed, and it won't connect with the default 1000/1234 account. On the host OS I've got ekiga and x-lite installed. Trying with either one gives a request time out. Running a port query on port 5060 on the guest shows that the port as not listening. There are no firewalls between the host and guest OS. I should be able to connect cleanly. My goal is to play around, capture the packets with wireshark, and then be able to analyze them, generate ladder diagrams, etc. I'm setting all of this up so I can learn, so I really don't even know where to begin troubleshooting. Can anyone offer any help? Thanks. -Matthew
