asterisk users - Jul 2006 - How to connect XLite with another public IP?

Hi Friends,

We have two internet connections (lines) from two Internet Service Providers in
our office. So, we have two public IP addresses. We are using one connection for
our LAN and to providing internet to our office staff. We are not using second
connection.

Now, we have installed "Asterisk" and using for International dialing
with Second connection. Now, I have installed "XLite" softphone in our
staff systems. I tried to connect our XLite with our Asterisk server. But, our
XLite softphone is unable to connect with Asterisk server. I have given Asterisk
server public IP in my XLite Domain field. But, it is not connecting and is
giving an error i.e., " Registration error: 408 - Request timedout". I
tried using firewall and without using firewall. Please tell me how to configure
my XLite softphone to connect with my Asterisk server (With other public IP)?

This is very urgent. Looking forward to your kind response. Thank you.

Regards,
Chandra.

Hello. I am very new to this, but I realize that x-Lite hasn't much to
configure apart from username, authentication username (which is the same as
username), password and domain / proxy (your public * here).

Are you behind a dsl (or the like) router? do you have in your workstations
assigned IP by dhcp?

I would share a little experience.

At first time, I installed asterisk with freePBX, and I wasn't able to
configure my softphone (x-lite) to connect to *, and outside my lan (yes, with a
dlink dsl router in dmz) I was able to connect to it. So, in order to start
testing with a clean install, I just removed everything and reinstalled asterisk
without anything else, and I can connect now.

Doing some search, the nat=[yes|no] externip, localnet parameters apprears.

I dont remember exactly what I had configured in my freePBX install to make
comparisions, but you should (I guess) configure your sip or iax useras with:

nat=yes
host=dynamic
canreinvite=no

A timeout means that you can't even connect to asterisk, which could mean a
network problem (most probably). You could try to connect to asterisk from
outside your network, if that works, then your problem is with nat or firewall.
You can enter the * console with 'asterisk -rvvv' to see what happens
when you try to connect.

I hope it helps.

Regards,
Pablo
