I'm going to try and ask this again and keep it short and as too the point as I can while still providing enough info to be of use.
PLEASE advise if I am going about this wrong or asking too much.
I'm seriously doing my BEST to throughly read the docs and try a bunch of things BEFORE coming here to ask and possibly annoy. If is documentation that explains thsi process in terms that someone new can grab onto quickly I'm missing it!

OK here goes again :-)


I have complied an asterisk system and got it going from scratch and all works great except I cannot make an outbound sip-to-PSTN call and do not fully understand how to configure it.

I've been folowing some examples and keep running into this stumbling block:

As soon as I add (to sip.conf) this section:

[siprovider.com]
type=peer
host=sipprovider.com
fromuser=2135551212
secret=2135551212
authname=2135551212
fromdomain=siprovider.com


I no longer can recieve ANY inbound calls from the PSTN via my sip provider.

I've tried many variations of attempting to get this section (I think it's referred to a 'sip channel) into my sip.conf all which give the same result.....

All inbound calls from PSTN TO this account FAIL.

I have tried with the dialplan in context [default]
with a test dialplan and with a 'blank' dial plan.

every way I try this, inbound calls via SIP and my SIP provider stop reaching my asterisk box.

If I remove the above shown section leaving only the
register => 2135551212:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

all works great and calls come in from the PSTN to my asterisk box and people can get around my menu just fine and dial internal SIP extension numbers.

This of course leaves me with no SIP [brackted] section of which to use for outbound calls of which I'd love to eventually get working.

Am I doing this right at all???? or am I headed completely in the wrong direction here?

I also tried this with a FREE Stanaphone account and get a very similar but strange result....

IN both cases adding this section to sip.conf result in my calls terminating at the SIP provider voicemail system instead of coming into my asterisk box here.



A side note:
Not that it really matters but here's what I get from my provider if I try to dial into my PSTN number from the PSTN:

Standard unavailable voicemail message as if not registered in.

-and-
From Stanaphone:

a 'strange' voice message that gives you the option to either #1 change my outgoing unavailable message or #2 press ANY key besides #1 to hangup.

Any help or pointers would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!


I compiled and Installed Asterisk about 10 days or so ago and am running
version:
CVS-Nv1-0-7-05/19/05-11:22:20 built by [EMAIL PROTECTED] on a i686 running Linux

Thanks!!!

Having a BLAST!
