[Asterisk-Users] IAX Registration being lost

[Wiley Siler]

Tony,

Do you have port 4569 on your external firewall IP port-forwarded to
your internal IP on the * box?

You should create a port forward of the external eth1:4569 -->
192.168.100.183:4569

Assuming that you exxternal IP were something like 1.2.3.4, you should
see this when you run iax2 show registry.

Host                  Username    Perceived             Refresh
State
210.80.176.12:4569    8990608214  1.2.3.4:4569             60
Registered 

Thanks,
Wiley

Well, this is getting more interesting.  I started looking at this this
morning and realised that Asterisk had lost registration, yet my ADSL
connection has been up for almost 2 days - and it was working fine
yesterday.  Therefore it doesn't appear to be related to the IP address
changing.

I'm thinking it's more that the registration is lost for any reason
(such as an ADSL reconnect or the registration needing to be refreshed)
and it won't come back.  Get this message as before:

Host                  Username    Perceived             Refresh  State
210.80.176.12:4569    8990608214  <Unregistered>             60  Request
Sent

I tried a ping and a traceroute and both working fine.  An ifconfig just
shows the internal address (192.168.100.183).
