[Asterisk-Users] Got SIP response 405 "Method not acceptable"backfrom xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

How exactly do you authenticate then, if it is IP authentication?  

I always understood the words "IP authentication" to mean that the carrier
has the IP address of your server set in their sip.conf & you just send the
call with no registration over to them.  Anything that comes from your IP
address will be accepted.

Registration and authentication are not the same thing. Registration is
required for the carrier to be able to deliver calls _to_ his system. It
is possible though that if he is using a static IP, then the carrier
saying they 'authenticate by IP' may very well mean that you are
correct, that registration is not needed _either_ and they are rejecting
the REGISTER request completely.

To the original poster: please post a 'sip debug'/'set debug 10' console
trace of this failing registration attempt (but nothing else), so we can
see what is actually happening.
