Are you specifying the remote Asterisk box by IP or by hostname. If by hostname, then specify it by IP. Asterisk's DNS lookup support has issues. 2) What is your qualify= set to. Set it to "yes" (2000), or don't set it at all. Also look at the qualify smoothing options in iax.conf.sample.

I've got this low-ping 100%-up dsl connection between two asterisk 1.2.7.1 servers. And oftentimes one of them would declare its opposite UNREACHABLE. Why can this happen? The host stanzas in iax.conf have raw IP's, so no DNS monkey business here.. An inquiring mind wants to know. ___
