icmp destination unreachable port unreachable

Hi,

I have a client running on my windows vista machine sending SIP requests to my Redhat guest. However the guest is responding with icmp destination unreachable port unreachable. I can't figure out why.

Please help

Thanks

Graham

Trace complete.


traceroute from guest

[root@grahamb network-scripts]# traceroute 192.168.136.3
