[Freeswitch-users] Make current fails (build 13537)

[Brian West]

NO its not a bad one at all.  Its switch_nat_init(); in switch_core.c  
since your network must be eating the packets its sending out to  
detect if you're behind nat or not... and not getting an ICMP  
unreachable like it should be getting... the joys of admins that block  
all ICMP like idiots.  ICMP has many uses... and outright blocking it  
is stupid. (This is my assumption cuz its what makes sense in this case)

So you're getting hit by the nice retry/timeout loop in the natpmp  
software we just added and possibly the upnp lib too.

So for now edit switch_core.c and comment out switch_nat_init();

I'm working my ass off to ensure that our users that do have to live  
in these insane nat scenarios can do so without much if any pain. Most  
of which uses SMB/Consumer grade routers which these two libs we added  
would allow us to poke holes and setup stuff and make it painless as  
possible.

Soon you'll have an option in switch.conf.xml to turn it off.

Please next time don't be so demanding and calling builds brain  
dead .. when in fact its trying to become more aware of its network  
config without much user input.
