[asterisk-users] I can't call my remote users?

[Steve Anness]

Good day to all--

First off let me say that I have been very pleased with the mailing  
list.  I have learned a ton of stuff just reading other peoples  
questions and comments.  I really enjoyed the VOIP Conference call on  
Friday morning.  Still working on figuring out the best approach to  
custom voicemail emails (the reason I joined this group); however, we  
have more pressing issues.  I am brand new to VOIP and even newer to  
Asterisk.  I configured several PAP2T's and one SPA-962 to go home  
with our remote users.   We had some trouble to begin with because at  
one of our locations they were hooking the SPA-962 into a WRT54G with  
a firewall so the phone was not getting an IP address.  We ended up  
getting them to hook the phone into a switch that went to the MDF and  
the phone came online.  The strange thing is that the phone would come  
online and then go offline:

The thing that throws me off is then the peer became unreachable the  
user was still able to call; however, when I tried dialing the number  
I would get the out of service message.

Any thoughts?
