Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hello, I installed Asterisk 1.4 last night, and seemed to install okay. When I got up this morning my system worked just fine. I did see in the CLI it took a long time for my ViaTalk to register. Today I had to reboot my Cable Modem, and my local Extn’s work just fine and register with Asterisk. My ViaTalk however gets a “timed out, trying again.”.

I have a cable modem so my IP can change, is this a problem?

I have a registered mydns file that can follow this. Where in Asterisk would I put this "myname.mydns.org at?

Thank you

Looking at the viatalk web site I can’t see that you need to specify your external IP address. Are you behind a firewall using a NATed address for the actual Asterisk server?

If the external address goes anywhere it would be in sip.conf. See if there is a definition for “externip=”.

No, it is not behind a firewall. I contacted a friend that assisted me this weekend he made my linux box into the router.

We still have the issue both Gizmo Project Sip and ViaTalk will not register. As a matter of fact I can’t even get my phones to register with Asterisk internal. I re-booted all my phones and double checked their settings and access to asterisk.

Please take a look and see if I have a problem.

So if your Asterisk box is running as a router do you have two network interfaces? If so which is the default gateway pointing to? It could be that you have a connection to the Internet but your default gateway is pointing to the other LAN interface. Can you ping either remote VoIP providers systems from the Asterisk box? Can you perform name lookups from the Asterisk box?

Okay that does sound like a good explanation, however my friend did that work for me via the internet and he is in the Army. I never know when I can reach him due to his services, and I understand I was in the Army from 1985-1990.

I been learning Asterisk and Linux and enjoy it, however I’m still a novice at best, and know about enough to mess things up.

So if you don’t mind how to I do this? I need fairly simple instructions. When I learn something new like this I print it off and file it. Thanks for helping me out.

I was brave enough to look and you were right.

The DNS was setup to the wrong router. It was still on the other router address. I changed it to this router and it took right off!

Thanks!
