Re: Asterisk - Linux

Hi Patrick
I had some of those configs but I didnt have outside_addr only
externip and I had not set bindaddr. I now have it set how you have
suggested. It is still not working BUT Linux has a ping command I've
found. I can ping my internal network but not any external address.
Is this some sort of network gateway issue, how do I test it in
Linux.

I do not think this matters but I will mention it in case. The
machine has two NIC's but I am only using the one main NIC which I
beleive in Linux is called something like eth0.
