[Newbie] Ekiga doesn't register "Method not Allowed"

Asterisk Asterisk Support

Hi everybody,
first of all, I want to make clear that I am really new to Asterisk, and I am quite sure that my problem is trivial…but I have not been able to fix it alone, even following tutorials online or searching this very forum.
So here I am.

I use Asterisk 1.8 and FreePBX 2.8. I created an extension 58444 and I tried to connect from another host on the same LAN.
When I try to connect, Ekiga returns a “Method not allowed”.
I analyzed the traffic with wireshark and this is what I get in the UDP stream…

In the extension I tried both with nat yes and no…i left deny and permit blank, the extension is set as “friend” and set as “dynamic”…
While I was trying to connect, I checked the CLI with verbosity 5 and nothing popped up when Ekiga failed to connect…
Any idea why it doesn’t work?? Where is the problem?

I checked online, followed a couple of tutorials, but the problem is still here…
Thank you very much everybody!

Matteo

Your server isn’t Asterisk and it doesn’t support registration, so there is no point in trying to register.

What do you mean, my server isn’t Asterisk?

I noticed that REGISTER is not in the set of the methods allowed, by I can’t understand why…

Also, if that is not Asterisk, who is responding to a SIP request on the SIP default port?
Isn’t it possible that, in some way, I deactivated (or not activated in the first place) the registration to my Asterisk server?
If that was the case, where should I look?

Thank you for your help.

If it were Asterisk, there would be a User-Agent header identifying it as such. That’s certainly true of all supported versions.
