[Asterisk-Users] IAX Registration being lost

[Wiley Siler]

Please check the Wiki (www.voip-info.org) and the list archive by
Googling site:lists.digium.com <search string>

Also, please include some more info.  That is probably why you got no
answer...

Is your machine sitting behind a router or is it directly connected to
your broadband (assuming)?
If the machine is behind a firewall, the IP change should not be so
profound.
It would just take a little bit and the machine should re-register as
soon as it sees the internet again.
Issuing reload should be sufficient to re-register on demand.

However, your description sounds like the * machine is getting an IP
from the broadband cable modem (again assuming).  If that is the case,
your Linux box may not get a new IP automatically.  At least mine has
never done so consistently.  You can google on how to setup the Linux
network stuff and refresh the IP.

Also, make sure you have not defined a bind address in your settings.
Leave it at 0.0.0.0 so * will use any available address.  That way if
the IP does change, you are not binding to an old address.

Cheers,
Wiley

Hi,

I've posted this question twice without a single reply.  Does that mean
no one knows the answer, or no one cares to answer?

I've been having an issue with an IAX2 trunk setup in Asterisk.  Setup
the trunk fine and it registers and works fine.  I'm able to make
outgoing calls from any extension and I'm happy :).

Then my Internet disconnects and it won't register anymore.  Simply says
"Request Sent" forever.  

I can reinstate the trunk by removing it, rebooting the server (maybe a
reload would also work) and then setting it up again.  It then registers
fine again.

I'm imagining it has something to do with the fact that my home has a
dynamic IP address and it's changing when the connection drops out.  Of
course it may also be nothing to do with it.

I'd appreciate any help anyone can give.
