Ahh yes, I forgot to mention that I am using bypass_media, apologies for not
mentioning this before!

Logs to follow shortly......

Thanks for the help,

Hi Ben,

  FreeSWITCH handles NAT rather well and should automatically ignore the
natted SDP info; using the actual send/receive RTP IP/port once media
arrives.  It will then leave itself in the media path (like it usually does
anyway) and magically fix SDP/RTP data to other clients.

  Are you doing anything funny like bypass_media?

  Please include a SIP trace and FS console logs so we can see if what
FreeSWITCH is doing.
