[asterisk-users] Incoming call does not reach asterisk.

[Chris Rowson]

Hi, this is my first post to the list, but I have tried to search
elsewhere for a solution, and have had a read of 'Asterisk - The
Future of Telephony'. So you could say that I have at least tried to
RTFM as it were!

I've configured a couple of Asterisk instances on both Debian and
CentOS based VPS's, and got them working fine. However, I recently
installed a copy of Astlinux and installed on a WRAP board and I'm
totally stuck!

I'm using sipgate.co.uk for incoming calls, but when I make a test
call from the PSTN, the call just dies without connecting to my
Astlinux box. (I'm monitoring asterisk console via 'asterisk -rvvvvv'
and see nothing).

I wondered if it might be a problem with Asterisk not listening
properly, or perhaps a problem with my home firewall. Would anyone be
kind enough to advise me as to where I may have gone wrong?

Thanks, Chris.

My sip.conf looks like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[general]
context = default               ;default context for incoming calls
bindport = 5060
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0
srvlookup = yes
disallow=all            ;disallow all codecs
allow=alaw              ;except alaw (1st pref)
allow=ulaw              ;and ulaw (second pref)

register => 277****:********t at sipgate.co.uk/277****
