[Asterisk-Users] IAX Registration being lost

[Wiley Siler]

As stated by John N., The Wiki can be pretty incomplete but it is a
great place to start.

In iax.conf.  The bind parameter.  However, this is only relevent if the
IP on the * box is changing.  Since it is not, you should be fineas long
as it matches your static IP or is 0.0.0.0.

the asterisk box and once I delete the

itself doesn't do the trick.

Do you lose your network settings altogether on every reboot?  If so
configure your NIC settings to be permanent.

What distro of Linux and version of Asterisk are you running?

Thanks,
Wiley

Great!! Something to work with. 

Yes, I've searched the wiki and everything else I can think of,
including these archives (which to be honest are very hard to search for
this sort of thing).  I've probably spent about 8-10 hours and hence the
reason I've given up on the personal research and started on the asking.

answer...

I didn't really know what extra info to post.

change should not be so profound.

The asterisk server is on a private network with a Smoothwall firewall
running as a router.  The private internal address never changes but the
external address does.

soon as it sees the internet again.
Issuing reload should be sufficient to re-register on demand.

That's what I would think but it definitely isn't the case.

done so consistently.  You can google on how to setup the Linux network
stuff and refresh the IP.

I don't think this is the issue.  I can certainly still ping out from
the asterisk box and once I delete the connection, reboot and recreate
the connection I'm fine.  I reboot by itself doesn't do the trick.

>> 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.

I'm not sure what you mean here.  Which settings?

Thanks,
tony

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
