[General] VoIP For Home Usage

[Majed B.]

I was just about to email and ask you how things are going on your end! hahaha.

Well, seems like I wasn't the only one going through trouble...

Have you configured the trunk, made sure the Outbound route is using
that trunk, and that you have configured a general Inbound route? Did
you configure an extension to receive/make calls?

I know it sounds silly, but go over them again and try recreating the
extension or make a new one and divert the inbound calls to it.

I'll look around and see what could cause your problems.

As for my side, remember that NAT & externip thing? It worked for a
while, when asterisk wanted it to, then it broke. If in the home page
the value "Public IP" is "Unknown" then you can kiss your audio good
bye on any device outside the LAN from receiving audio. I'm too close
to stab someone in the face... it's quite frustrating because my
settings should work, and I don't want to run a script with a cron job
to replace the domain name with the IP :/
