My Soekris box sits behind my router which takes the dhcp address from Comcast 
so that's not it... But the DNS lead sound interesting. Sure if DNS is acting 
up then the asterisk client won't be able to connect, maybe?  So a true test 
will be to change my VoIP providers in my sip.conf and point directly to the IP 
address instead the domain. That should take care of any DNS issues for 
sure....  I will try this and keep you updated....   Thanks for all the leads 
guys...  

Cheers

Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] Asterisk connectivity issue...

Is Comcast (a) having routing issues, or (b) renewing your DHCP lease to
a new address?

The latter is in fact a blatant violation of the DHCP specification, but
it doesn't stop them from doing it.

Every time you reboot, check if your IP address has changed...  I'm
betting it has.
