<DIV>>Now, we have installed "Asterisk" and using for International dialing
with Second connection. Now, I have installed "XLite" softphone in our staff
systems. I tried >to connect our XLite with our Asterisk server. But, our
XLite softphone is unable to connect with Asterisk server. I have given Asterisk
server public IP in my >XLite Domain field. But, it is not connecting and is
giving an error i.e., " Registration error: 408 - Request timedout". I tried
using firewall and without using >firewall. Please tell me how to configure
my XLite softphone to connect with my Asterisk server (With other public
IP)?<BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello. I am very new to this, but I realize that
x-Lite hasn't much to configure apart from username, authentication username
(which is the same as username), password and domain / proxy (your public *
here).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Are you behind a dsl (or the like) router? do you
have in your workstations assigned IP by dhcp?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would share a little experience.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At first time, I installed asterisk with freePBX,
and I wasn't able to configure my softphone (x-lite) to connect to *, and
outside my lan (yes, with a dlink dsl router in dmz) I was able to connect to
it. So, in order to start testing with a clean install, I just removed
everything and reinstalled asterisk without anything else, and I can connect
now.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Doing some search, the nat=[yes|no] externip,
localnet parameters apprears.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I dont remember exactly what I had configured in my
freePBX install to make comparisions, but you should (I guess) configure your
sip or iax useras with:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>nat=yes<BR>host=dynamic</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>canreinvite=no</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A timeout means that you can't even connect to
asterisk, which could mean a network problem (most probably). You could try to
connect to asterisk from outside your network, if that works, then your problem
is with nat or firewall. You can enter the * console with 'asterisk -rvvv' to
see what happens when you try to connect.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope it helps.</FONT></DIV>
