asterisk users - Oct 2004 - Setup problems

I am totally new to this project, I have been trying to set it up now for
almost a whole day, and can not understand what is wrong. The following
error appears when my phone tries to register:

Oct  6 19:08:30 NOTICE[98310]: chan_sip.c:7519 handle_request: Registration
from '<sip:2201@192.168.0.5;user=phone>' failed for
'192.168.0.253'

What exactly does this error mean, apart from that registration failed.
Anyone any ideas why it failed?
My phone is a IP2006 ( http://www.solwise.co.uk/voip-phones-ip2006.htm )
Have double checked and triple checked the password.
Thanks in advance

I spent a lot of time tracking down that by wiring in a hostname, it failed
even though the call came from that host.  Be sure to use host=dynamic.  The
reasoning behind this is unclear to me; those of us who have been working
with networking for a long time have a strong preference towards wiring in
hostnames where such can be reasonably done.  I may have missed some other
finer point of the configuration, however.

you should include a section from the sip.conf

I've installed festival 1.4.3, I've applied the proper patches and 
everthing seems to have gone fine. So I edited the festival.conf file 
per the Wiki

; Festival Configuration
[general]
host=localhost
port=1314
usecache=yes
cachedir=/var/lib/asterisk/festivalcache/
festivalcommand=(tts_textasterisk "%s" 'file)(quit)\n

I added the following extension

exten => 5001,1,Answer
exten => 5001,2,Festival(mary had a little lamb)
exten => 5001,3,Hangup

I made sure to start the festival server up before running Asterisk, but 
I get the following error from asterisk:

     -- Executing Festival("SIP/125-03f4", "mary had a little
lamb") in
new stack
   == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/festival.conf': Found
Oct  6 10:23:06 WARNING[-180528208]: app_festival.c:335 festival_exec: 
festival_client: gethostbyname failed

I noticed if I don't even run the festival server it still gets this 
error. I've tried changing host in the festival.conf file to 127.0.0.1, 
I've tried the name of the server, to the IP address of the server it 
all gets the same error. localhost resolves fine, the name of the server 
resolves fine.

I've tried to search through the archives, but I didn't see this error 
occurring for anyone else.

Thanks,
Chris
