The server rejects registrations from NAT'ed IP addresses.
You will have to use STUN so that it registers the correct IP address.

If it is on the router directly (I don't remember), then Ekiga is
probably listening on the wrong interface. It can be changed in the
Network settings part of the preferences panel.

I think STUN is simply not enabled (I don't see a reference to it in the
log).
