Hi Reza,
I have followed your instructions up to 3/ below. It has been running
for 2 days in a row without IP change.
I am hoping it will stay this way and still works when the IP does
change later.
Yes, please bank the F&C + CRB.
I am also interested about your other problem. Did you figure out why
your asterisk was forced to reboot?
Thanks,
Richard

Hello Richard;
I'm banking on Fish&Chips and COLD ROOT Beer. John Li owes me one
plate already!
Your IP address getting renewed daily is not normal with Rogers.
1. Re-Connect your old router & release the DHCP
2. Power Cycle your Rogers Modem.
3. Then reconnect your Linksys and DHCP assign
3. See if IP renews again at 8:00PM
4. If it does, clone MAC address and try again.
Rogers cache's your MAC address unless you do a literal release of the
IP address, and POWER CYCLE your Rogers modem. I was a Sr. Consultant
with Rogers over 10 years ago and some of their procedures have not
changed to date.
I believe your problem will have been resolved once this is done.
But normally speaking, there really isn't any need to reboot your
Asterisk machine. I can change my Asterisk servers IP address and get
it working on the fly with the new IP. The issues you are describing
is network related.
And yes, 1.02 is the latest firmware that I am using on my Linksys.
Let us know how this works out for ya.
Cheers!
Reza.

Hi Reza,
No problem. I like fish and chips too. I used to work in F&C shop many
years ago when I was a University student in U.K.
Here is what I found
1/ cd /etc/asterisk and "grep bindaddr *" All results showed
binaddr=0.0.0.0
2/ When the problem happens, my IAX trunk can not send traffic out and
all outcalls came back with "all circuits are busy now, please try your
call again later"
3/ Funny enough, when the problem happens, I will go to the router's
status page and do a release and renew IP. It always returns a new IP.
4/ Also, when the problem happens, all my PCs connected to the router
can not display any web pages. So all internet connections failed.
Based on 4/ above, I truly think it has to do with my new Linksys
router. What do you think?
After it gets a new IP from 3/, I have to reboot asterisk and then
everything is back to normal.
BTW, are you using the Linux version of the G router or just non-linux?
I have just upgraded my firmware to the latest 1.02. Have to see if it
happens again tomorrow night. Also, funny that my Rogers IP get renewed
daily at around 8pm after I replaced my D-Link with the Linksys.
Not sure if I should clone the MAC address of my old D-Link to stop it
from renewing.
Will keep you posted,
Richard

I personally use WRT54G v6 with no problem with my home & development
Asterisk boxes. All production servers are hosted at a data centre to
which the story is completely different.
I'm on DSL. My IP almost always changes.
Update the firmware with the appropriate version of the router. That
is use only the latest firmware for the specific router version. For
example: DO NOT install a V4 Router's latest firmware into the V6
Router series.
There is no IP caching going on in you Asterisk -- unless you have
encoded the latest IP address into the sip.conf. I suspect you may also
have bindaddr=0.0.0.0 replaced with bindaddr=<your_ip_address>. Leave
this as bindaddr=0.0.0.0 since this is your home * server.
I suspect you are using some sort of dynamic domain name services to
reflect your IP address. It may be an issue with the dynamic DNS
service for your particular account. Additionally back track any
changes you may have made on your Asterisk and undo them - while you
were trying to figure things out with your dlink connected.
There is no need to restart your machine each time. Simply restart your
Asterisk service and/or up & down the network interface. That is
"ifconfig eth0 down" and a "ifconfig eth0 up" -- to shut down your
network card and start it up again.
The WRT54G is an excellent consumer class router! I've been using this
for a long time.
That's one cold root beer and a plate of Fish & Chips.
Cheers!

Yeah Chucks, I am suspecting that it could be a problem with my new
Linksys WRT54G v6. I did not have this problem with my old D-Link
router.
Reza, as you mentioned in my other topic that you were also using this
series, did you have similar problem?
Or your IP does not change and so you would not have seen it? May I ask
which version of firmware are you using?
Thanks,
Richard

Not elegant, but could throw a cheapo NAT firewall between. So the
Asterisk doesn't know about the IP change. it's the firewall's job (of
assuming the firewall can do it without problems).

Chuck

Hi All,
Everytime I my router asquires a new IP from Rogers from their DHCP
server after lease expires, my Asterisk will get stuck and no in/out
calls can go thru without a reboot.
I am suspecting Asterisk is caching this IP.
If true, is there a setting somewhere which can stop such caching?
Appreciate your suggestion,
Richard
