<div>I am able to connect with Asterisk on the first try
after fresh load, but not on the subsequent tries.</div>
<div>I have to re-reload sip.conf and extensions.conf to
connect with Asterisk. Looking at the logs, it seems
like a registration issue. So I set minexpirty and
maxexpirty that seems to have no effect. can post the
logs, if someone wants me to.</div>
<div><br>

<div>Your kind help is appreciated.</div>

<a href="http://www.asteriskwin32.com" target="_blank">www.asteriskwin32.com</a>
hosts only a very very old version of Asterisk
(1.2.something). What speaks against setting up a small
virtual machine to host a recent version of Asterisk?<br>
<br>
jg<br>
<br>
You have a point. My SIP provider at the moment is Vonage
which I can't access from work (some security issue:)</div>
<div>So I am confined to testing from home and I don't have any
other machine to spare. If there is no other way</div>
<div>to trouble-shoot the problem, I will have to do what you
suggest. </div>

For very little $$$ you could obtain an HP thin client, load a
modern version of Asterisk using AstLinux, and leave your Win 7
machine to do what it does best ( which is certainly NOT Asterisk )<br>
Once installed, it can be completely controlled and configured
remotely over your home LAN, consumes very little power, has a
universal power supply, consumes little power and no noisy fans.<br>
HP5720 units can be had off eBay for $20-30 US. Even with shipping
to your country, really low cost solution much more in the
mainstream.<br>
AstLinux uses standard Asterisk confs. The GUI is used for
management and editing, and doesn't use the difficult to
troubleshoot and quirky overlays of a TrixBox or FreePBX<br>
Check out the astlinux website for more details<span><font color="#888888"><br>
