Hi!

Sorry for not being faster when you asked on IRC (TheBonsai) :-)

(1)
The login procedure is simple, Ekiga registers at the
configured provider's VoIP service at startup. Then yes, you need
Internet. The configured provider is, when you signed up for an account
at Ekiga.net and configured it in the druid, the Ekiga.net account. But
that's "just an account", Ekiga is of course NOT bound to Ekiga.net,
you can use any standard SIP provider.

For simple internal communication (PC to PC in LAN) you shouldn't need
Internet - is that what you were asking for?

(2) looks like a broken installation. Which version on which operating
system?

Yannick?


In general: Maybe you can describe what you want to use Ekiga for and
under which (network) conditions you want to use it.
