So, I have a wholesale provider. I use them on one of my VOIP servers, but its getting pretty full, So I put up a new box for VOIP, I can make outgoing calls no problem, I am having a problem receiving calls, The provider says my server is giving them a 404 error. I have allow anonymous SIP calls turn on. But for some reason its still rejecting calls.
Works fine on my Trixbox 2.4 box, but not on the 2.6.1 box.
IS there something I'm missing?
Nobody?

DONT allow anonymous SIP incoming calls - that will allow ANYONE to make a call via your box.
in your sip.conf (or sip_custom.conf rather) look for this line-
context = from-sip-external
change it to
context = from-trunk
If it is not in sip_custom.conf, just add it there, so that the setting will not be overwritten by any freepbx settings changes.

Andy, The anonymous calls do enter from-trunk, how else do you think the inbound routing works on them?
There are some possible exploits if you allow transfer on inbound calls, it is quite minimal.
I am an advocate of getting your trunks working properly also, however I always publish my SIP URI, not sure why you would not want to allow someone to call you from the Internet.

In addition to the above, also make sure that you have no line in sip.conf and sip_custom.conf and sip_general_custom.conf that says:
srvlookup=yes
If you have an "srvlookup" line, remove it immediately. I have had similar issues than you, and turning off anonymous sip only helped temporarily. After a few weeks of working on the issue, we found out it's because of SRVLOOKUP

Maybe because of this:

You can still accept anonymous SIP calls through your ITSP. Let them worry about unauthorized calls.
