All, I did finally get my server up and running. I thought I'd share some tools I used.
1) use this to see if asterisk is even listening on port 5060 with UDP > nmap -sU -p5058-5062 localhost Starting Nmap 4.11 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2008-06-20 10:49 CDT Interesting ports on localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): PORT STATE SERVICE 5058/udp closed unknown 5059/udp closed unknown 5060/udp open|filtered sip 5061/udp closed unknown 5062/udp closed unknown Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 1.224 seconds 2) use TCPdump to see of any traffic is going through the sip port > tcpdump -v -pi eth0 udp port 5060 tcpdump: listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 11:55:39.155542 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 51, id 8710, offset 0, flags [DF], proto: UDP (17), length: 779) 100.ipcomms.net.sip > asterisk.larkspark.dev.sip: SIP, length: 751 INVITE sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] SIP/2.0 3) turn on sip debugging in asterisk > asterisk -cvvvvvvvvvv asterisk*CLI> sip set debug Eventually I did find a few problems and was able to correct them. It's pretty much just what Adrian suggested. -- Dante Adrian Marsh wrote: > Most SIP clients have a logging ability.. you can use those.. but > turning on debug on the server is the best mechanism, as its whats going > on there that counts. > > sip set debug <options> > > And if you want to get really into the lower levels, then tcpdump will > let you capture the packets for offline analysis in wireshark. > > Nmaping against locahost wont tell you much other than an app has 5060 > open.. it wont tell you if firewalls are blocking things, or if NAT is > an issue. > > Adrian > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of D.
