As stated by John N., The Wiki can be pretty incomplete but it is a great place to start.
In iax.conf. The bind parameter. However, this is only relevent if the IP on the * box is changing. Since it is not, you should be fineas long as it matches your static IP or is 0.0.0.0. > I don't think this is the issue.

Do you lose your network settings altogether on every reboot? If so configure your NIC settings to be permanent. What distro of Linux and version of Asterisk are you running?

Something to work with. Yes, I've searched the wiki and everything else I can think of, including these archives (which to be honest are very hard to search for this sort of thing). I've probably spent about 8-10 hours and hence the reason I've given up on the personal research and started on the asking. >> Also, please include some more info.

If the machine is behind a firewall, the IP change should not be so profound. The asterisk server is on a private network with a Smoothwall firewall running as a router.

That way if the IP does change, you are not binding to an old address. I'm not sure what you mean here. Which settings?
