I read some threads about setting up remote extensions "HOWTO Setup a Remote SIP Extension". There are3 steps and the 1st step is to change sip_nat.conf file. Here is my changes:

externhost=mydomain.dyndns.org
externrefresh=3600 (I want this to refresh every 1 hour)
localnet=192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 (my router's IP is 192.168.0.1)

Before I go further to other steps to set up a remote extension, I restarted the server and I made a phone call on the internal extension to outside. This time, I did not get ring back tones and when other parties answerred the calls, I did not hear them.

So, I cleared the sip_nat.conf file and restarted the server, and things return to normal.

Any advice on why the suggested sip_nat.conf configurations caused one-way audios?
