Isn't that how skype works?

Well, I just noticed my firewall rules here in the accommodation halls
of the university changed. Now they say:
Service: NetMeeting, PC-Telephone - Ports: Various Ports Open - Usage:
Used for video and audio conferencing - you may not receive calls but
you can make them

So I guessed I could use ekiga now but... ekiga still reports symmetric NAT. :-(
Should it?

Is there a way to test what's wrong?
