Asterisk Setup for noob...

why post your outbound config is it's inbound that's broken?

That's what I get when I don't proof my message before sending. I have fixed my error thanks for pointing it out to me.

I am also on dynamic IP with dyndns and it seems to be OK for me. I abandoned my virtual machine because it was too quirky. It was messing up a lot.

I had to edit my sip_additional.conf and put in my externhost=mydyndnsthing.dyndns.org and the other NAT related things there. Also opened up the ports on the firewall and such. Not sure if you already did this but I can post my stuff if you haven't tried that.

No, do NOT edit sip_additional.conf! You want sip_custom.conf - any non-custom files may be overwritten without warning!

Thanks guys, I was not able to play with my machine last night as my 2nd half was on a rampage the second I pulled into the driveway. Something about the dog, how I forgot to stop at the store for milk and TP, my clothes being on the bathroom floor, and something about not paying attention. It was just crazy at home last night so I didn't dare drag out the machine.

I really need a man shed to run to when things get hot. One with A/C, Internet connection, cable, a small kitchen, bathroom. Hell I should just rent an apartment.

Better luck tonight!

Sounds like you need to move out......

My bad!
Sorry about that. It is the sip_custom.conf. If you are using PIAF it only shows you files that are safe to edit, AFAIK.

My better half pretty much got fed up when the 30 minute drops started happening. Then I started with the Asterisk 1.6 thing, and finally had to get the VoipO Grandstream. The Grandstream just works, and works pretty well. It locked up on me once, but since has been great. That will give me some breathing room to play with 1.6 a little...

Ok, guys... Got the inbound and outbound working... I had played with the incoming route rules and that was preventing the calls from coming in. Silly me.

How can I allow incoming callers the ability to get the weather or other options I have installed. I have installed the zip code weather mod. I have it setup so extensions can dial 947 to retrieve weather. But I would like to give incoming callers the ability to check the weather also.

Perhaps I should post this on the PiaF forum, I just thought you guys would know.

Found it... I am looking for an auto attendant.

Zevin,

I'm now where you were a while ago and I can't seem to get inbound calls setup properly. I have setup an inbound route that will ring all phones (call group 600) and I've tried numerous settings in the Incoming Settings in the SIP Trunk settings section. Outbound calls work fine.

Will someone with a working freePBX setup please post their inbound settings so I can compare what I have with what others have?

I know the server is getting the calls but depending on how I have the inbound settings configured, I either get what sounds like dead air (no ring, no voice, nothing) or I get the recorded
attendant telling me the number I have dialed is not in service.

Here are my current User Details: (note: I have User Context set to my VOIPo number)

type=peer
secret=XXXXXXXXX
qualify=yes
insecure=very
host=sip.voipwelcome.com
disallow=all
allow=ulaw

Here is a log of one of the recent attempts:
