Has anyone run sipgate through a SonicWALL before? If so, how
did you configure the rules?

I'm getting to the point where the phone will register, but I can't make
calls in our our. Outbound I get the engaged tone, and inbound gives
the number unobtainable tone.

you might need to allow sip ports 5004 through to 5060 i think

The standard ports to forward for sipgate are:
Port 5004 UDP
Port 5060 UDP
Port 8000 - 8012 UDP
Port 10000 STUN
Port 3478 UDP & TCP

Ah - I think I'd done 8000 - 8012 as TCP not UDP.

I'll try with UDP later.

I see no reason to forward ports 10000 and 3478 - the whole point of
STUN (Simple Traversal of UDP through NAT) is to allow traffic through
the NAT router without forwarding ports.  If you have to forward ports
for STUN then STUN isn't working!

In other words, if you have to forward ports, don't bother with those two.

There is also no reason to forward both 5004 and port 8000 - most
hardware device use 5004, x-lite uses 8000, but only the one that you
want to use has to be forwarded at the router.

So, for the first phone on the network, these are your ports to forward:

Port 5060
Port 5004 *OR* port 8000

The user can choose these ports, for a second line convention dictates
adding 1 to the standard ports.  Just make sure you set the same numbers
in the phone and at the router! If STUN is working then you shouldn't
have to forward any ports at all.

The only ports you need to forward are:
5060 UDP for SIP
The UDP port range your phone or PBX is using for RTP.

If you're forwarding ports then it's not necessary to use STUN.

I haven't told my firewall (WRT54G/Alchemy) anything about my ATA (apart
from MAC address so firewall can give premium QOS priority to ATA's
traffic.) So it's invisible from internet and I must say I like it this way
in case there are any 0-days lurking in ATA firmware...

Then again I accept that Sonicwall is top-end compared to mine so YMMV.
