I have been using FritzBoxes for quite a while, and have not found such
strange bugs - except after a Firmware Upgrade. It seems after some
upgrades you need to do a "factory reset" (via the web interface) and
enter your data again, else they behave stupidly.

Looks pretty OK to me. Just a stupid idea: Do you have a [general]
section before those two?

And then, I use type=friend, not type=peer, that _might_ make a
difference in how asterisk matches sip.conf contexts to registered
clients.

8<==== From my sip.conf:
[sip501]
mailbox=01
callerid=501
type=friend
username=sip501
secret=lk1j2eu89
context=sipclient
host=dynamic
nat=yes
disallow=all
allow=alaw
allow=gsm
allow=ulaw

[sip502]
mailbox=02
callerid=502
type=friend
username=sip502
secret=1092jd0
context=sipclient
host=dynamic
nat=yes
disallow=all
allow=alaw
allow=gsm
allow=ulaw
=====>8

Note: Those two accounts belong to the same FritzBox.

That made me think about that friend/peer thingy.

The FritzBoxes are popular here in Germany - no wonder, being a German
manufactured product and being given away for (nearly) free with any
2-year DSL contract... I like them nevertheless :)
