Hi,

I am trying to set up an Asterisk server to for my small business.  
We all work at home but are connected via hardware VPN boxes  
(Linksys RV042 routers) so that we can all see each others networks.

I have the Asterisk box (AsteriskNOW Beta 1.5) on my network and  
the first thing I am trying to do is get X-lite on my desktop Vista machine  
to get registered. IP of Asterisk box is 192.168.0.116 .

I have created a SIP account on X-lite (3.0) with the following settings:  
Account:  
Display Name "My Name"  
User Name "1000"  
Password "1234"  
Authorization User Name "1000"  
Domain "192.168.9.116"  
Domain Proxy  
Register with domain and receive incoming calls "checked"  
Send outbound via:  
Proxy "checked"  
Address 192.168.0.116

On FreePBX I have created an extension:

Extension "1000"  
Display Name "My Name"  
secret 1234  
dtmfmode rfc2833  
canreinvite no  
context from-internal  
host dynamic  
type friend  
nat yes  
port 5060  
qualify yes  
callgroup   
pickupgroup   
disallow   
allow   
dial SIP/1000  
accountcode   
mailbox 1000@default

Problem is X-Lite gives:

Registration Error 408 Request Timeout

And Asterisk doesn’t see the device (or load SIP):

SIP SHOW PEERS  
No such command ‘sip show peers’ (type ‘help sip show’ for other possible commands)

What am I doing wrong? I thought I’d just get us using X-Lite to communicate internally before I added inbound and outbound calling,  
but I seem to stuck already.

If the request timed out then you’re probably blocking SIP traffic. Check that port 5060 is open on any firewalls you have between X-lite and Asterisk.

I’m not sure why ‘sip show peers’ doesn’t work… that is completely correct
