Comment 2 for bug 395594

Hi,

Detlef and I had an IRC session about this issue.

The issue is the following:
the router Detlef use is a FRITZ!Box Fon. In his setup some ports in the UDP range Ekiga use (5060 to 5100) for the media session (RTP) were open and some were closed for inbound connection. As a result, sometimes there was sound when calling the echo test and sometimes (most of time) there was no sound. Ekiga pick up somewhat randomly the port in the above range.

The pratical solution was to open some ports in the router; he opened ports 5061 to 5065 in UDP, and to configure Ekiga to use those ports only:
Open a terminal and start "gconf-editor", then find the key "/apps/ekiga/protocols/ports/udp_port_range", change it from "5060:5100" to "5061:5065", restart ekiga.

After that, the call to the echo test (<email address hidden>) works.

Best regards,
Yannick
