You are assuming that he does not know the address that will be assigned 
by his DHCP server. I use DHCP to assign all addresses, both fixed and 
leased.

Leaving out bindaddr means "bind to 0.0.0.0" -- all addresses on the box.

We haven't heard back if basic connectivity can be established.

) Can you ping box a from box b? How about box b from box a? Not all ISPs 
pass pings, so this test is not conclusive.

) Can you use nc (Netcat) to send and receive packets on port 4569 from 
box a to box b and vice versa? (Do this with Asterisk stopped on both 
boxes.) If you can't, there may be some firewall you are not aware of in 
your way. Once you identify the firewall, poke a hole for 4569 and then 
restart the firewall.

Thanks in advance,
