[Asterisk-Users] Unable to dial using SIP using FWD and iConnectHere

[Rodolfo Grave]

Hi and thanks. I added the entry in the /etc/hosts file and it is 
working now... I also had to add more parameters at the peers 
definition: authname, username

Now......

The problem with this solution is that my hostname and my ip changes 
everytime I reset my box (at least)... how can I solve this? Can't I 
just say asterisk to use the eth0 IP??

Thanks a lot.
