<span class="postbody">Hi
<br>

<br>
I am a newbie to * and I am having a problem which appears strange as I did not find any mention of it anywhere in my search.
<br>

<br>
Simply speaking, I have an external SIP proxy server which I am trying
to configure for incoming and outgoing calls from my asterisk
installation. So here is my configuration in sip.conf
<br>

<br>
[general]
<br>
register =&gt; <a href="http://user:secret:user@sipserver.com:8080">user:secret:user@sipserver.com:8080</a>
<br>

<br>as long as I have just the above entry, I am able to receive
incoming calls. Now I would like to setup outgoing calls too. So I
create a new section in sip.conf
<br>

<br>
[sipserverout]
<br>
type=peer
<br>
secret=secret
<br>
username=user
<br>
fromuser=user
<br>
fromdomain=<a href="http://sipserver.com">sipserver.com</a>
<br>
host=<a href="http://sipserver.com">sipserver.com</a>
<br>
port=8080
<br>
context=default
<br>

<br>
with the above configuration I can successfully dial out using dial(SIP/{$EXTEN}@sipserverout)
<br>

<br>but now when I call my incoming number, I get a busy or invalid
number signal. If I coment out sipserverout section, I could receive
incoming calls again.
<br>

<br>So I turned on sip debug on CLI. and it appears to me that the
following is happening. astreisk takes the incoming call and tries to
match it with a section with the same hostname. Now the reverse IP
lookup on <a href="http://109.147.41.48">109.147.41.48</a> return <a href="http://sipserver.com">sipserver.com</a> (which is correct), so it
is trying to send the call to sipserverout which is essentially back to
the same server where it came from (Notice the statement &quot;Found peer
'sipserverout'&quot; in the sip debug logs below). This creates an endless
loop and the equipment at the other end terminates the call.
<br>

<br>According to all the examples I have seen, my setup is the correct
setup and everyone seems to be using it. but it does not work for me. I
am deperately looking for a solution. Please help.
<br>

<br>
I am using asterisk 1.2.0 beta 1 on FC1.
<br>

<br>
Here is the sip debug dump when a call is coming.
