Hi
I have an account with voipfone and I want to connect my home FreePBX to it. I’m actually connecting to an extension on their Virtual PBX. I’ve configured the trunk and an outbound route and I can make outbound calls OK. Unfortunately I cannot receive calls.
After a lot of research and debugging I’ve tracked the problem down to the REGISTER packet that is being sent from Asterisk. The Call-ID field has the internal IP address of the server rather than the external IP of the firewall. The initial 401 response from voipfone has the external IP address in the Call-ID field. Asterisk therefore fails to match the two and reports a timeout.
Like I said, I can make outbound calls OK and the OPTIONS packets do have the external IP address in them.
FreePBX has been told it’s behind a NAT firewall on a dynamic external address and has the dynamic hostname configured. It also detects the internal network OK.
Any ideas?
The PEER field in the trunk has the following:
username=id200 (note: the 200 is to connect to extension 200)
type=friend
secret=****
qualify=yes
insecure=invite,port
host=sip.voipfone.net
fromuser=id200
fromdomain=sip.voipfone.net
dtmfmode=rfc2833
authuser=id*200
nat=yes
The register field has
id200:*****@sip.voipfone.net/id200
You said:
Clearly it hasn’t or it would be working.
There are only two items in play the externip (externhost) and the localnet that control this behavior. You have one or both wrong.
Post the output of ‘sip show settings’ and we can get you pointed in the right direction.
I take your point, Scott, however, OPTIONS does work correctly, it’s only REGISTER. Anyway, here’s the info.

A couple of comments, do you have externip and exteraddr filled in? You only need one.
If you do an ipchicken on the same gateway as the phone system uses does it show your IP as 86.27.187.208:0 ??
Is 172.19.12.0/24 your local LAN that the phone experiencing the problem is in?
Scott
re externip and externaddr: all I’ve done is fill in the relevant fields in FreePBX. I’ve not edited any settings files directly. sip_nat.conf is empty.
Doing a grep for these strings in /etc/asterisk only shows
sip.conf:; nat=yes , externip= , localhost= , and optionally fromdomain= .
Actually, that might be it. The fields are set correctly in SIP Settings.
I’ll try editing sip.conf manually as a test
As to the external IP, yes it is as stated.
Gareth
In which file should FreePBX be dropping nat= externip= etc.?
Sorry, found the following in sip_general_additional.conf
nat=yes
externhost=astrium.homedns.org
externrefresh=120
localnet=172.29.12.0/255.255.255.0
