Nils,

Thanks! Setting listen=sip.voiping.com worked. I had listen=192.70.239.1 (which the reverse DNS records resolve to: voiping.com). So, that worked. Thanks for the help and the quick response.

Regarding "not forking" it was purely for debugging purposes. It'll work now with fork=yes.

Now I have: fork=yes log_stderr=no

alias=voiping.com listen=sip.voiping.com

Later, L.

I'm "playing" with SER trying to understand how it all works, and to be completely honest I haven't finished reading all the docs. Basically I'm using the default ser.cfg (installed in /usr/local/etc/ser) and I have two 7960s with the latest SIP code. I know it works, since I can call the other phone with our user@iptel.org extension ... The 2nd line is setup to register to sip.voiping.com [192.70.239.1]. Immediately the phone gets to trying, I have ser running to "not fork, debug 3, and log to stderr".

Is their any special reason why you not allow to fork? Because from the repsonse packet bellow you can see that your request is going through end (nearly) endless loop. The via_cnt==12 means the request was forwarded 12 times (before it was stoped by the maxfws rule). I guess that ser cant detect that sip.voiping.com is one of its "myself" names. Maybe this is caused by the 'fork=no'. If not you can try to add 'listen=sip.voiping.com' to your configuration or the commandline switch '-l

sip.voiping.com'. This should fix your problem.
