[asterisk-users] stanaphone issues. can someone verify my config?

[Richard]

Sorry if this comes thru twice, I had the wrong account selected to send the
first time...


Callers to the number get ringing, I get stuff in my asterisk console, and
it calls my softphone and ata, but answering either gets silence, and the
caller gets the ringing stop, if they wait ages they get the stanaphone
voicemail.

I have had the account for ages, and it never has worked, other sip incoming
works ok so I don't think its any issues, and the machine is the DMZ of the
adsl router so it should be forwarded for everything.

These are the relevant snips of the file and the console output.

------sip.conf-----
[general]
context=mainmenu		
allowguest=yes
allowoverlap=yes
bindport=5060
bindaddr=0.0.0.0
srvlookup=yes	
pedantic=no	
allow=all
allow=g729
rtptimeout=4 (tried this on the default of 30 and it just makes it take
longer to give the error, and I like it low incase the internet dies I don't
end up talking to nothing for a long time without realizing it.)
compactheaders = yes	


externip = 60.xxxxxx (our static IP is here)
localnet=192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0;

canreinvite=no

; richards stanaphone incoming to ext 8800
register => 089xyz:xxxxxxxx at sip.stanaphone.com/8800
; richards italk to ext 8800

------- later down in it.


[stanaphone-richard]
type=friend
username=089xxxxx
fromuser=089xxxxx (all the same, and as stanaphone give in the sip config)
authname=089xxxxx
secret=xxxxxxxx (as stanaphone give in the sip config
host=sip.stanaphone.com
allow=all (tried that since the softphoen uses pcm when it works - no
change)
allow=g729
allow=gsm
dtmfmode=rfc2833
insecure=very
canreinvite=no
qualify=yes
nat=yes
port=5060
context=richardincoming
mohinterpret=better



I don't believe that the extensions.conf is a problem since I have other
voips going to the same 8800 extension and being handled right.

What I get in the console on an incoming call to the stanaphone number is.

Those continue on for quite some time and then stop (will get about 7 or 8
of the critical error)


The lack of RTP everywhere makes it look to be a nat issue, but I have done
everything I can think of to have that work, and the config is the same
other then host, username and password on italk which is working fine. I
have googled for the Maximum retries exceeded on transmission - I could only
see some stuff related to broken sip phones, not a voip server.

Alternativly, since it seems that stanaphone is a bit of a hit and miss from
some other reading, is there any other functional US inwards provider for
free that doesn't need a credit card that works well with asterisk? The
softphone works, but I really need to get it going to my phones in the house
instead. Soft client was closed when testing the asterisk.

Many thanks.
