If that's on your outgoing side then you'll also need "type = peer"
in there. The incoming side would have "type = user".
Outgoing = peer, incoming = user. "Friend" is both incoming and
outgoing, but you probably don't want to use that.

The register is so that you can use "host = dynamic" on the incoming
side. In that case, you will have to register your location with
your peer before you can receive incoming calls.
If both sides plan to stay on a known IP address then they don't
need to register their location with one another; Simply specify
the hostname or address instead of using "host = dynamic" on the
incoming side. Clearly, one of the two endpoints must remain at a
known location.
You might also want to look into using "auth = md5" or "auth = rsa",
to prevent your passwords from being sent across the internet in plain
text.
