[asterisk-users] IAX connections broken

[Michael Munger]

Just so people on the list can search later: I found the solution:

The smoothwall we have as our firewall / router needed to be reset. It
went haywire and wasn't forwarding anything after about the 5th entry. I
deleted everything out of the web interface for port forwarding,
confirmed it went bye bye by ssh'ing into the box and actually looking
at the files, restarted it, re-added the ports, and VIOIA! IAX works
once again.

What a pain in the asset.

Yours,

 Amen !

 I had changed my router, the calls via my DID were working fine,
 but I just COULD NOT get either of my soft phones to connect.

 I looked at the contexts, nothing. The * console was not dead as
 ever.

 I check the port forwarding and Bingo !  only TCP was being
 forwarded.

 Aaaahhhhh !
