I have setup LCS 2005 and have it working internally with both TCP and
TLS using certificates. I have configured my PIX firewall to allow
both ports 5060 and 5061. I have also configured the fixup protocol
sip 5060 command on the firewall. Debug of SIP on PIX shows a ton of
SIP traffic, but I am unable to move the SIP connection pass the INIT
stage. Ultimately, the connection fails after it times out. IF I
simply want to allow TCP from the outside, is there any special
configuration I need to do to LCS 2005 ( I have enabled remote users
and changed authenticaiton to NTLM only). Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

If you don't let the PIX think it can muck with SIP traffic coming in for
outside users/servers, it won't fail connections as it gets confused.

In general - don't allow firewalls to act as ALGs and firewalls won't
confuse themselves. I believe this was the issue jmills was having (please
confirm if you would).
