[INFO] Wed Jul 29 07:50:45 2009 H.323 ALG rejected packet from 173.53.210.176:1720 to x.x.x.x:4739
Hmm, new bug? I have not seen it before, but it seems that there is something really wrong with 1.3x.
H.323 is connected with VoIP SIP. But it doesn't really matter if i turn on/off SIP support in Firewall Settings.
Any idea how to fix it?
-
Can you explain what the message means? I assume you can since you suggest it might be a bug and that there is something wrong with the DIR.
-
At least are H.323 and SIP two different protocols, so it won't help to turn of the SIP ALG if the H.323 ALG rejects a packet.
If it causes you trouble, you can disable the H.323 (Netmeeting) ALG.
But in most cases there are faulty packets and the router rejects them correctly.

At least they are not 2 different things.

H.323 and Voice over IP services
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) describes the transmission of voice using the Internet or other packet switched networks. ITU-T Recommendation H.323 is one of the standards used in VoIP. VoIP requires a connection to the Internet or another packet switched network, a subscription to a VoIP service provider and a client (an analogue telephone adapter (ATA), VoIP Phone or "soft phone"). The service provider offers the connection to other VoIP services or to the PSTN. Most service providers charge a monthly fee, then additional costs when calls are made.[citation needed] Using VoIP between two enterprise locations would not necessarily require a VoIP service provider, for example. H.323 has been widely deployed by companies who wish to interconnect remote locations over IP using a number of various wired and wireless technologies.
It seems that not only I have this problem

I have checked IP:port with h.323 ALG error, it seems that port is connected with my VoIP gateway.
Perhaps it is nothing, but I checked my log, for almost two years. I had no such entry about h.323 ALG. Since FW1.3x I have.
What I have found about DIR-655 FW 1.3x is that it recognize h.323 by port, not content.
