I had a lot of problems with an Asterisk BPX behind NAT. Asterisk dropped all incoming calls after 20 seconds because of an unanswered packet. This is a well known problem when NATing Asterisk, but even Google does not provide any solution. This single problem drove me nuts last friday when I tried all possible [...]

After some problems to get an Asterisk server talking to an Inode Telenode gateway (incoming calls did not work) I tried the following configuration for sip.conf and it worked like a charm:
context=default
allowoverlap=no
bindport=5060
bindaddr=0.0.0.0
srvlookup=yes
nat=yes
allow=all
externip=81.223.xxx.yyy
localnet=10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0
register=0999999999:password@px.voip.inode.at
incominglimit=10
and users.conf:
context=DID_trunk_1
dialformat=${EXTEN:1}
canreinvite=yes
hasexten=no
hasiax=no
hassip=yes
host=px.voip.inode.at
port=5060
type=peer
registeriax=no
registersip=yes
secret=password
trunkname=Custom – Telenode
trunkstyle=customvoip
username=0999999999
callerid=0999999999
fromdomain=px.voip.inode.at
contact=0999999999
fromuser=0999999999
allow=alaw
insecure=very
AsteriskNow helps a lot when setting up an Asterisk server and is actually a time saver. Just download the ISO image [...]

sidebar search feature,
tag manager …

I can really only recommend it!Edited to add on 2007/04/14It’s a great extension with many useful features, but after synchronization of my almost 7K bookmarks it is [...]

This is a little bit of an insider joke , but it’s worth reading anyway. Worse Than Failure.
BTW, I recommend WTF for all people in software dev, QA and testing.
