Betamax/Finarea again blocking voxalot ?

[andy]

Sometimes playing around with Betamax like this causes temporary blocks, even without Voxalot

I have incoming DIDs for 2 accounts running in the PC clients. If I call one from the other, using the number, it usually rings, but not always; sometimes it's blocked.

In fact this was my test of the blocking a while ago - using Voxalot callback, 1st leg call the Voipcheap DID with Voipbuster, then 2nd the VB number using VC. As long as I ticked the pop-up query: logged on at another place, re-logon? it would work, and I could answer both and talk to myself for a few seconds.

And, since about September, using one Betamax brand for both legs of Voxalot callback would work, but before that no chance

So I can't answer the queries, but there might be clues here for other people. You can be logged on in more than one place, but I wonder how the query about it would work with ATA and Voxalot registrations thrown into the pot - automatic or not? Don't ask me - I don't use that stuff, only callback, and I might be talking gibberish, so apologies in advance if so.

voxalot dialplan blocked for sip.voipcheap.com (voip error id 503) using "sie 450ip".
output call working ok with "voipcheap client".

voxalot dial plans for sip.voipbuster.com and sipgate.at (using "sie 450ip" and "voipbuster client") are ok.

location: austria - vienna
voxalot server: eu.voxalot.com
internet provider: chello.at
ipaddress: not changed last 12 monts
router: netgear wnr854t
date: 18.04.2007
error start time: 18:05
error duration: 20 min (until 18:25).

is it posible to monitor avaiability of "voipcheap.com" 3-4 days, every 15 minutes using "cron" or "nagios" or ....???

I don't think there are any differences between the Betamax services. They're all on the same server, except that your account has other per minute rates.

hallo jeffjuh!
yes "...there are any differences between the betamax services..."
but i think they are *not* all on the same server.
do you have posibility to test avaiability of "voipcheap.com"?

here are the "nslookup" outputs:

C:\>nslookup sip.voipbuster.com
Name: sip.voipbuster.com
Addresses: 80.239.235.201, 194.120.0.203, 194.221.62.206, 194.221.62.207
80.239.235.200, 194.120.0.202


C:\>nslookup sip.voipcheap.com
Name: sip.voipcheap.com
Addresses: 194.221.62.194, 194.221.62.197, 80.239.235.192, 80.239.235.195
194.120.0.196, 194.120.0.193

Official response from Betamax

Hi Martin,

We had to do some maintenance in our servers resulting in some temporarily downtime. We are working on a solution to avoid this downtime in the future.

I can also make use of the VoipCheap servers with my VoipBuster account. Not having any problems with that.

But as Martin posted above.. There was some downtime at Betamax' site.

just tried it with the eu and us server, both are not working for outbound calls. the au server then worked. i "hope" betamax has still some downtime issues.

Mine is working perfectly all day today and yesterday, which means Betamax may have blocked your IP. due to their own restrictions.

[haifischjunge]

funny one, havent made a call since yesterday afternoon. and as i understood the blocking was for max 5 minutes.

[tomblandford]

So far as I can tell:
- Some people had problems yesterday
- Betamax have told us they had downtime yesterday
- No-one has any problems today

Hence case closed. Correct me if I'm wrong.
