What was Asterisk doing until you restarted it?  What happened when it tried 
to use the (stale, but now restored) connection?

1. How is your Asterisk server connecting to Deutsche Telekom (SIP, IAX2, 
other...)?

2. How do you authenticate on that connection (password, certificate, IP 
address...)?

3. Do you connect to an IP address at Telekom, or to a hostname?

4. Did the IP address of Telekom's end of the connection change?

5. Did the IP address of your end of the connection change?
