Introduction:
I am an IT professional who worked for a number of years with a Linux desktop, was forced back to Windows :>( but am now jumping back to Linux.
I participate in a number of user groups and have put fealers out concering this topic with my local resouces to no avail so I am turning to this community.
System:
IBM THinkpad T41 Fedora Core 6 KDE Desktop
[root wizej LinuxDownloads]# uname -a
Linux wizej 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 #1 SMP Mon Mar 19 10:42:48 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[root wizej LinuxDownloads]# rpm -qa |grep ekiga
ekiga-2.0.5-3.fc6
Issue:
Can not connect to my corporate IP Avaya based phone system with ekiaga
Tried:
I have contacted my Local IT support guys and they tell me it uses H323
I have the phone correctly working (when I boot up my windows drive) and also it connects when I run the IPSoftphone program within a Windows VM (audio is flaky when trying to run in VMWare)
No firewall on my system (iptables –F used)
I have the ip address of the Gateway is set to 172.27.18.83 (172.27.19.84 is a second CLAN card option)
I set host name in /etc/hosts to reflect same name in case it was looking for some kind of host name resolution
Attempted to also raise the debug level from a shell "ekiga -4" -> not a SINGLE message was printed… hmm.. not very "useful"
Settings:
Accountname="Work IPphone" Gatekeeper="172.27.19.84" user="6006" password=" my_password" GatekeeperID=" " Registration timeout="3600" Protocol H323
As usual, thanks to those in the Linux community willing to help.
