asterisk users - Apr 2013 - sip registration

I have a very lite layout and attempting to get the SIP configuration set
up initially before proceeding into other areas.

VMware is running my Asterisk 11 on Ubuntu 12.

Shouldnt I be able to at least ping the SIP provider IP?
I run command "sip show registry" and do not see it set up.
I run sip show peers and I do see an entry.

I have not configured anything other then entries in the sip.conf

results are:

Name/username             Host                                    Dyn
Forcerport ACL Port     Status      Description
outgoing/5552530146 (your
69.90.209.57                                               5060     OK (85
ms)
1 sip peers [Monitored: 1 online, 0 offline Unmonitored: 0 online, 0
offline]
Asterisk*CLI> sip show registry
Host                                    dnsmgr Username       Refresh
State                Reg.Time
0 SIP registrations.
Asterisk*CLI>


my config is this:

[outgoing]
username=5552530146 (your VoIP VoIP account assigned while signing up)
type=peer
qualify=yes
secret=iblockedthis (your VoIP VoIP password)
nat=auto
insecure=invite,port
host=sip3.voipvoip.com
fromuser=5552530146 (your VoIP VoIP account assigned while signing up)
fromdomain=sip3.voipvoip.com
dtmfmode=rfc2833
disallow=all
allow=g729
allow=ilbc
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
;

;register => 5552530146:7036361399 at 69.90.209.57/5552530146
register=>5552530146:boston!@#123 at sip3.voipvoip.com/5552530146
;


Please send input or guidance...

Thanks
Thomas

Not if they don't allow it. They don't.

sip3.voipvoip.com registers fine for me with your credentials.

Did you put the registration statement in the [general] section?

I use the 'append' format so I can group all the cruft for a provider 
together. Like:

; voipvoip.com
[general](+)
         register                        = nnnnnnnnnn:xxxxxx at
sip3.voipvoip.com/nnnnnnnnnn
[outgoing]
         secret                          = xxxxxx
         username                        = nnnnnnnnnn
 	...

I used your credentials and successfully placed a call to all of my 
Caribbean premium numbers*.

Please change your password. Maybe your issue lies elsewhere. Does 
enabling SIP debugging on the console yield any clues?

*) just kidding.
