[Asterisk-Users] Hang-ups when using IAX

[Hadar Pedhazur]

Darrin, I had a similar (though not identical) problem. The solution 
in my case was to add "notransfer=yes" in the iax.conf context for the 
IAX softphone. It's possible that the hand off to attempt a native 
transfer for you is failing because one of the servers is behind a NAT 
router. Anyway, it's worth a quick test.
