im using deb 3.1 w/ asterisk 1.2 w/ 2 nics - 1 private 1 public ip.
the problem is intermittent, calls fail. sometimes reset solves the problem.
and the problem is …
calls fails.
whenever i ping the provider peer address - unreachable, but when i tried using other workstations, i can reach the ip addrss
i have 2 nic 1 private 1 public. xlite register to private address…
could it be routing problem?
sounds like a networking/routing problem. Once you can successfully ping see if * works…

im not familiar w/ linux routing but from what i know in cisco:
0.0.0.0 is default gateway, so im assuming its the default and so could it be the last 2 lines wherein 2 default routes?
yeah i think so, remove the one that isn’t connected to the public internet (eth0 or eth1)
eth0 is private ip
eth1 is public ip
what should i do w/ the routing?
remove the 0.0.0.0 on eth0 then. You only want to route to 0.0.0.0 on a network that can handle internet routing, aka the public ip
Can i do this instead:
