I know this topic has been discussed but there is no solution. Here is my OWN problem.

I setup * behind NAT. my registration with FWD is timing out. I opened port 5060 and 5082 using UDP in my firewall for my * box. here is what i have in sip.conf

sip.conf
[general]
port=5060
bindaddr=192.168.1.10
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
externalip=my.homeip.net ; dyndns home ip
localnet=192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
context=from-fwd
maxexpirey=180
defaultexpirey=160
tos=reliability
srvlookup=yes
reinvite=no
canreinvite=no
nat=yes
register => 123456:<password>@fwd.pulver.com/123456

[123456]
;thameema FWD account
type=friend
username=123456
;fromuser=123456
fromdomain=fwd.pulver.com
secret=<password>
;host=fwd.pulver.com
host=dynamic
dtmfmode=inband
nat=yes
reinvite=no
canreinvite=no
;allow=gsm
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
context=from-sip-fwd

I am getting the following error in my log

Feb 8 23:46:02 NOTICE[14141]: chan_sip.c:4147 sip_reg_timeout: -- Registration for '123456@fwd.pulver.com' timed out, trying again

You may wish to give people more time to read, digest and think about replying to your postings before bumping your own question and killing that spirit. The people who answer questions are all over the world, and all of us are volunteers who have real life responsibilities outside this forum. For example, you posted your original question at 4:49 PM in my part of the world, yet at 5:04 AM you were asking why nobody had posted a solution.

Have a little patience. It will go a long way toward getting the solution you seek.

sorry for panic. I can wait....But to update, i made it working using IAX. But there are other problems with that...

[mberlant]

Good deal. If I had an answer right at hand you would have it already.

You did, however, find one of the best places on Earth to ask your question.

IAX is pretty much the best answer. It tunnels nicely through NAT and supports the widest range of features. (Multiple numbers trunking, etc.) What problems are you having with it?

From looking at your SIP conf you mispelled "externip" as "externalip". I suspect that would cause the problems with your registration. Also you need to open the port range listed in rtp.conf or you'll make connections, but get no voice.

Thanks daryll. You have good sight. May be the mispelling of 'externip' might have caused the problem.
I didn't try SIP but i m very much satisfied with IAX. Thanks for your time.

I use externaddr=xx.xx.xx.xx
and it works....
