Re: [Ekiga-devel-list] Sometimes Ekiga is not binding to the correct interface

[Geeziard <ekiga-nabble com ziberex dk>]

I am seeing the same problem on Windows with Ekiga 3.2.7. If I have the VMware bridging networks enabled, Ekiga send the IP addresses of those along in its register message, despite them being on a different subnet from the outgoing package, like:

REGISTER sip:ekiga.net SIP/2.0
CSeq: 73 REGISTER
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP X.X.X.X:5060;branch=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx;rport
User-Agent: Ekiga/3.2.7
Authorization: Digest username="MyName ekiga net", realm="ekiga.net", nonce="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", uri="sip:ekiga.net", algorithm=MD5, response="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
From: <sip:MyName ekiga net>;tag=2c3da863-4405-1910-894c-001150c429ef
Call-ID: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx@MyComputer

Contact: <sip:MyName@X.X.X.X>;q=1, <sip:MyName@192.168.139.1>;q=0.667, <sip:MyName@192.168.1.4>;q=0.334

X.X.X.X is my external IP, 192.168.139.1 is a virtual VMNet interface and 192.168.1.4 is my internal IP, the one that is in contact with my NAT-enabled router.

I presume that Ekiga should not send the 192.168.139.1 part as it is on a different subnet from 192.168.2.1. (The netmask is 255.255.255.0 for both interfaces, I have checked! ;-)

Is there any reason why the wanted IP address (the interface to bind to) cannot be configurable in the preferences? It would make my system work nicely and it would make it possible to use Ekiga on Linux VServer systems too as all VServer instances share the same network interfaces, making it impossible to have more than one instance of Ekiga running when it binds to all interfaces.

When it does not work, I get no answers back from the router at all. Not a peep.
