SIP Trunk not connecting to server

I have a FreePBX PBXact server that stopped working yesterday. It was after an reload of FreePBX and an exterrnal IP address change.

I have captured a request packet from my FreePBX server to my provider. I get a “SIP/2.0 403 Forbidden” as my return. I also have captured packet from a 3CX softphone request that does connect and work. The biggest difference that I see is that the softphone uses a Method type of REQUEST and the FreePBX sends a Method type of OPTION .

Here is the successful softphone request.

Any thoughts? I can provide more data on request.

A REGISTER and an OPTIONS are not the same. If you’re getting a 403 Forbidden back on a REGISTER it generally means there is an auth issue like a bad password.

I’m not sure what is broken (borken) in my FreePBX configuration that is causing an OPTIONS request instead of a REGISTER request.

What should I be looking for?
