asterisk users - Oct 2007 - Asterisk Initial Set-up - 'Registration Refused' at FWD

Hello,
    Sorry for what may be a basic question, but I have spent a number of
hours trawling the forums without resolving the problem, and hence this
post.

    I have just started to dabble with Asterisk, as much for the learning
than anything else. I created an account on FWD and used the Asterisk
settings that the FWD web site recommends at
http://www.freeworlddialup.com/help/?p=knowledgebase&c=18&a=76.

    I started the Asterisk server, and after the set of start-up messages, I
see...

Oct 21 16:34:53 NOTICE[9444]: chan_iax2.c:7597 socket_read: Registration of
'867245' rejected: 'Registration Refused' from:
'192.246.69.186'

    From the Google searches that I have done, I cannot find a solution to
this. I have tried opening up UDP port 4569 on my Netgear router and setting
port forwarding to my Asterisk PC, but this makes no difference. I am sure
that I have missed something simple, so please do not worry about stating
what may seem to be obvious. Thanks in advance for your help.

                                        Ian.

I am pretty sure this a problem with FWD. If you read their forums on 
IAX, the moderators repeatedly state that IAX support is experimental 
and not well supported.

I have exactly the same issue as you do...

Nope - I haven't had to change the firewall on my router and I 
successfully have an IAX-IAX trunk running between my Asterisk server 
and my business partners. I think it's an FWD problem.

Hi to all!

I'm glad to be of any help. I had the same issue and sent an e-mail directly
to FWD. I paste the answer below.

Greetings, 

Aldo

Aldo,

FWD IAX is experimental and not supported. Please create a SIP trunk
which will be more reliable.

Regards,

Juan Vides
