Another factor - SOME routers misbehave if you expect the gateway
address to provide the DNS server addresses.
Probably the cheaper big box store ones. I certainly have been caught by
the blue box brand!
In addition to the addresses Comcast provides, perhaps add a "public"
one such as 4.2.2.1 ??

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...

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.

I know it is not Astlinux related but I was wondering if any of you experience
this issue.
I run my Soekris net4801 on Comcast broadband and once in a while I find all my VOIP providers
"UNREACHABLE" when I do a "sip show peers"
I recognize that my broadband can go down once in a while but the asterisk should
reconnect back to me 3 VOIP providers... All 3 of them are unreachable and I can see in
the logs trying to connect back. I tried the reload and tried to stop and restart the
asterisk service in /etc/init.d/asterisk "stop | start" but won't do it.
Rebooting seems to always do it for me and have everything get back online. I
don't have any weird firewall rules on my Linsys router running Tomato firmware.
Is just kind of weird if you ask me....
Meanwhile I wrote a quick crude script and put it on the crontab to reboot my Soekris box when the VoIP service is unreachable....
#!/bin/sh
asterisk -rx "sip show peers" | grep teliax |grep OK|wc -l > /tmp/log
VAR=`cat /tmp/log| awk {'print $1}'`
if [ "$VAR" != "1" ]
then
/sbin/reboot
exit;
fi
Any ideas what's going one here guys?
Thank much....
