              I am able to connect with Asterisk on the first try
                after fresh load, but not on the subsequent tries.
              I have to re-reload sip.conf and extensions.conf to
                connect with Asterisk. Looking at the logs, it seems
                like a registration issue.  So I set minexpirty and
                maxexpirty that seems to have no effect.  can post the
                logs, if someone wants me to.
              

              
              Your kind help is appreciated.

          www.asteriskwin32.com
          hosts only a very very old version of Asterisk
          (1.2.something). What speaks against setting up a small
          virtual machine to host a recent version of Asterisk?

          You have a point. My SIP provider at the moment is Vonage
          which I can't access from work (some security issue:)
        So I am confined to testing from home and I don't have any
          other machine to spare. If there is no other way
        to trouble-shoot the problem, I will have to do what you
          suggest. 
        

        
        Thanks & Regards
        murthy
      
      

      
      

    
    For very little $$$ you could obtain an HP thin client, load a
    modern version of Asterisk using AstLinux, and leave your Win 7
    machine to do what it does best ( which is certainly NOT Asterisk )

    Once installed, it can be completely controlled and configured
    remotely over your home LAN, consumes very little power, has a
    universal power supply, consumes little power and no noisy fans.

    HP5720 units can be had off eBay for $20-30 US. Even with shipping
    to your country, really low cost solution much more in the
    mainstream.

    AstLinux uses standard Asterisk confs. The GUI is used for
    management and editing, and doesn't  use the difficult to
    troubleshoot  and quirky overlays of a TrixBox or FreePBX

    Check out the astlinux website for more details

​Another option (assuming your computer has enough ram and disk space) is to run a copy of Linux in Vmware Player (which is available for free).  It allows you to run the Linux environment in a virtual computer as if it was an application on windows.  Then you can test the most recent release of Asterisk (version 13 at the moment).​

Many thanks for your kind replies. Here is what I have done:
a) Downloaded VM Player and Ubuntu ISO
http://theholmesoffice.com/installing-ubuntu-in-vmware-player-on-windows/
b) installed Ubuntu 14 something on Windows 7
(By the way the Wubi which is supposed to download and install Ubuntu turned out to be a dud)
c) installed Asterisk 11 
http://blogs.digium.com/2012/11/14/how-to-install-asterisk-11-on-ubuntu-12-4-lts/
By the way, there was an undocumented problem with compiling DAHDI So I skipped that step
d) ran Asterisk and everything is back where they should be
However, some times I get "User Busy" response from Vonage. I think thisis an Asterisk issue. If anyone knows how to rejig Asterisk so that it won't holdon to the session after hang up, kindly let me know.
