</div>What does your sip.conf look like?The only way I could see this<br>
happening would be if the IP's or Identities were somehow getting<br>
crossed up. Do your phones have static IP's or are they using DHCP?<br>

<br>I have dualboot and use a very powerful free program put out by 3com called "3com network supervisor", the name has changed I think, but you can either search google or 3com and find the newest software. I am sure there is a Linux tool that does the same, just never bothered to find it since it is easy enough and free to dualboot and use the 3com software.<br>
<br>It will go out and ping all the addresses you specify or would be included in your DHCP assigned subnet. It then tries to resolve hostnames, OS, services, and the like and give you a nice graphical map.<br><br>A very good reason not to plug a laptop with open services and fileshares or whatever into a hotel network jack, or wifi. You will be shocked what you can find ~8-9PM in a large and full business type hotel.<br>
<br>So once you map the IPs, look for something unusual or usual switches, routers, and hotel servers usually occupy the lower end of the IP pool. I have had totally open access to the hotels cisco switches and APs because they were never setup with passwords or used defaults.<br>
<br>If you find a box that is running Linux, try the web interface and see if it identifies itself, like most flawed boxen do. So typing it's IP into a browser with <a href="http://IP">http://IP</a> or <a href="https://ip">https://ip</a> might tell you exactly what it is. Say it is a SwitchVox box <a href="https://ip/admin">https://ip/admin</a> should tell you right way. Other devices that just pop up a login box will also tell you what the system is as I am sure you have seen with certain network devices, APs are a prime example.<br>
<br>If you find that you may have identified an Asterisk box, try setting up a softphone and run wireshark while you register with your room number as the user and password. Many times, you will get logged in, because of poor implementation. If not but you get something back other than a timout, you can look at the SIP headers and try to determine from there.<br>
