Connecting to MyHomePhone (Macedonia)

[NotAlwaysOnlySometimes]

I've just recently signed up to a VOIP provider based in Macedonia (I require a DID there). The company is MyHomePhone My Home Phone - Macedonia Calling Card, Phone Cards, Cheap Calls

I have tried to register via a number of methods, including:

Billion 7404VGP with the result: Jan 17 23:28:24 home.gateway:sip_SipTransactionManager_?:none: SIP Registration Error 1 for phone XXXXXXXXXX (from the router event log)

The following from the Billion console:

Understandably, registration has also failed with Voxalot.

The provider and I did some troubleshooting this evening. The claim that registration packets from me are malformed. See this log from what they sniffed on their server from my SJphone connection:

2.069951 XX.XX.XX.XX -> 93.95.65.9 UDP Source port: 5076 Destination port: sip[Malformed Packet]
17.069635 XX.XX.XX.XX -> 93.95.65.9 UDP Source port: 5076 Destination port: sip[Malformed Packet]

And from my Billion 7404VGP:

2.069951 XX.XX.XX.XX -> 93.95.65.9 UDP Source port: 5076 Destination port: sip[Malformed Packet]
17.069635 XX.XX.XX.XX -> 93.95.65.9 UDP Source port: 5076 Destination port: sip[Malformed Packet]

136.905009 93.95.65.9 -> XX.XX.XX.XX SIP Status: 200 OK (1 bindings)

Now, the thing is I have successfully registered 5 other VOIP providers in my Billion and use these via dial plans. So, while I consider myself a novice, I do know a little about these things.

The only other thing which may be of relevance is the massive lag on their server:

Tracing route to proxymk.my-home-phone.com [93.95.65.9]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms home.gateway [192.168.1.254]

Trace complete.

They say this lag could be the cause of the problem. My ISP is Internode, and generally accepted as being reliable. I haven't (yet) taken this up with them. I'm disinclined to think that Internode is the issue considering that I can't connect from Voxalot (and from one other SIP aggregator). Obviously Voxalot is connecting from outside of my network (and therefore, Internode).

Can anyone make sense of what might be going on? Does Voxalot provide any logs or other diagnostics which might assist in troubleshooting this? Thanks in advance for any assistance!

(Note: My account has been replaced with XXXXXXXXXX and my IP address with XX.XX.XX.XX).

Hi,

I create an account and used Mysipswitch to register. It looks OK!

Name; Username; Password; Server
Voipmyhome; 1275xxx; yyyy; voip.my-home-phone.com

Take a look at server.
Regards
Józef

Thanks for your help! I appreciate that you have gone to the trouble of creating an account to test this out for me.

However, that server you have used is NOT for customers who have a Macedonian in-dial number. That server is for customers who want to use their "cheap" outgoing calls facility.

I have used the servers provided to me in my MyHomePhone setup email and these have been confirmed as being correct by MyHomePhone.

I would appreciate comment from anyone who has any understanding of the logs I've provided herein.

Just in case though do try voip.my-home-phone.com instead of voipmk.my-home-phone.com and see what happens

I have done as you have suggested, but to no avail.

Billion 7404VGP previously showed in the event log:

Jan 18 15:24:45 home.gateway:sip_SipTransactionManager_?:none: SIP Registration Error 1 for phone XXXXXXXXXX

After your suggestion shows:

Jan 18 15:26:36 home.gateway:sip_SipTransactionManager_?:none: SIP Not found the account on server for phone XXXXXXXXXX

I have reverted back to the correct settings (as shown in my 1st post in this thread).

Just to reiterate, there are two systems:

• One appears to be a resale of someone for outgoing calls (voip.my-home-phone.com)
• The other, the one I'm trying to connect to, offers DIDs in Macedonia (voipmk.my-home-phone.com)

The real culprit appears to be something on their server which sees registration attempts as malformed packets. Any ideas?

Does Voxalot provide any logs or other diagnostics which might assist in troubleshooting this?
