asterisk users - Feb 2010 - Registering of Asterisk against a SIP provider

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi, all!

I'm being based on this document [1] to send and to receive calls using
ekiga.net. But I'm seeing, in an Asterisk console, several messages of
this type:

[Feb 17 21:19:15] NOTICE[11875]: chan_sip.c:7715 sip_reg_timeout:    --
Registration for 'danib2 at ekiga.net' timed out, trying again (Attempt
#4775)
    -- Got SIP response 606 "Not Acceptable" back from 86.64.162.35


Investigating in Internet I found that it can be due to that the
registering is being tried to do with an not public IP. I've dynamic
IP whose domain is updated using a dynamic DNS service. The line that I
am using in sip.conf is the following one:

; DGB - 20100211
externip = sysadminhaiku.com.ar
localnet = 10.1.0.0/24


Hours ago the IP changed and the domain was updated satisfactorily, but
in spite of this I was obtaining the registering failures that I
mentioned above. After to restart Asterisk (1.4.24.1), I no longer had
this problem of registering. But there would be some way to solve this
problem?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Regards,
Daniel

If you're using dynamic dns, shouldn't you be using externhost instead
of
externip?

It's an old story. Asterisk check DNS when it start that's why it's
ok
after you have it restarted. When I was running Asterisk using dynamic 
addresses, I made following:

- modify sip.conf to include a file placed where ever you want, contents 
being externalip/externalhosts and all others info needed related to 
external IP
- restarted myself ADSL line with a cron script each night
- this script extract/found the new IP using the method you prefer (eg 
ping your dyndns host until response and than you have your new IP
  and insert the IP in the file you include in sip.conf
- this script restart asterisk

and voila :-)

Was working like a charm.
