asterisk users - May 2009 - Can someone help me with my IAX-registration

Thanks for the feedback !

I know the IP-address of my Asterisk-server.
The WAN-interface of my Asterisk-box is set manually (ifcfg-eth1).
I have port 4569 forwarded on my NAT/firewall.

Strangely I have the same 'notice' when being attached directly to the
internet (so no firewall in between).
And set my WAN-interface to the IP I get from my ISP or even when obtained by
DHCP.
Doesn't solve a thing.

I would like to bind Asterisk IAX to 1 IP-address, namely my WAN-interface.
All my internal SIP-phones contact Asterisk through SIP, never IAX.
Only my WAN-interface talks IAX2 with my IAX-provider.

So binding to all interfaces... I would rather not.

In IP-tables, port 4569 is open for WAN-interface. port 5060 is open for SIP on
LAN-interface, also 10000:20000 is open for RTP on LAN-interface.

So the binding-warning... doesn't make sense to me.

Now for the problem of connecting to my IAX-provider :

- I can ping the IP-address of the remote Asterisk-server
- Cannot test netcat right now, but will do this evening.
- I have send my IAX-provider an email asking for their iax.conf...
- My Asterisk-server is able to contact the remote Asterisk-server but
registration is rejected... (REGREJ on CLI). I personally think there is a
configuration error in my user-account in their iax.conf-file ...


Greetingz,
Jonas.

Gavin,

My Asterisk-server has 2 interfaces :

- eth0 = LAN-interface (for SIP-phones to register)
- eth1 = WAN-interface (for IAX-trunking to IAX-provider)

Asterisk is behind NAT (has internal IP-address 192.168.3.248 for WAN_if)

SETUP :

m0n0wall 192.168.3.250 -- 192.168.3.248 (WAN)-Asterisk-(LAN) 192.168.4.248 --
LAN-switch

But removing the NAT and connecting directly to the internet does not make that
my Asterisk-server gets registered with the Asterisk-box of my IAX-provider...

If Asterisk only binds IAX to the eth0-interface... I can maybe change eth0 to
be my WAN-interface (IAX), and eth1 to be my LAN-interface (SIP)... ??

Greetingz,
Jonas.
