Right now I think the problem is some combination of NAT, the vsftpd/openssh conflict, and a healthy dose of not knowing exactly what's going on with certain things (mostly the config files and how a SIP connection actually behaves). I didn't do anything noteworthy today (besides walking around the uncomfortably crowded Cherry Blossom Festival).
The distro issue (Ubuntu vs. CentOS vs. whatever) is probably more of a convenience thing at the moment; I did a bunch of searching on various combinations of "asterisk ubuntu" but there's nothing particularly enlightening other than a fair number of websites saying the equivalent of "NAT makes things hard." Of course there's something to be said about starting fresh after a "trial run," although I'm not sure if I want to start the precedent of wiping everything when I hit a roadblock ;-)
I think I'm going to re-read the book and some various guides I came across today, voip-info.org/wiki/view/asterisk in particular looks like it could be helpful.

I have added some background material on routing and the telephone network on the server at /tmp/NetRouting. They are from a book written from the class notes/handouts in a class I had at UMKC. I actually understood this at one time (might have been late-90s).
ReplyDeleteI'm reading NR10-RoutingInTheTeleNet.pdf but the other file seems to have something wrong with it... I can't open it in Acrobat, Preview (the Mac pdf reader), or even in Photoshop.
ReplyDeleteLooked at the file, loaded on my pc corrrectly (not surprising since i created it). Put it as a link on the webiste. Look for it to the left of Max's picture.
