TIP: Reserve UDP ports from windows' own services to prevent signaling & audio
problems with pbxnsip.

UDP is a big problem nowadays under windows. With the latest DNS patches to
Windows machines ports used for UDP SIP and RTP audio can be eaten by
Windows' own DNS client and server processes.

Listed below is a registry key that will prevent windows from using UDP ports in the
same range that pbxnsip requires for operation.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\
ReservedPorts=
5060-5061
10000-12000

Separate values for ReservedPorts using enter to goto next line. You may change
reserved UDP port numbers to whatever ports above 1024 are required to operate
pbxnsip in your environment. In the sample above the first line is for inbound sip
on 5060 thru 5061 and RTP media using ports 10000 thru 12000.

Whow that is very interesting stuff!

Maybe something to mention in Wiki ?

Added to the wiki. Thanks

Note to clarify this Registry edit:

You are not adding a new key to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\
You are just adding a Multi-string Value called ReservedPorts (do not include the
= symbol in the name).
