[Ekiga-list] Could not connect to remote host

I am having difficulty in getting ekiga working. I
have an account at ekiga.net and it appears to be
valid as I can log in there. But when I try the echo
test, I get first "Registration failed - timeout" and
then "Could not connect to remote host".

My setup: I am using Linux pppoe behind a SMC
Barricade adsl router/modem. This has a built-in
firewall (configurable via the web browser) but I have
not changed its default settings. As far as I can see,
it is not doing any packet filtering or nat, although
there are timing checks to prevent DoS attacks. The
ekiga configuration druid's nat test reported "open
nat". I normally have a simple iptables-based firewall
on the computer itself but I flushed it away before
testing ekiga.

I have looked at the ekiga manual but have not found
anything that looks relevant (apparently this error
message is sometimes caused by a nat problem but not
with open nat).

I attach the transcript of a level-4 debug run
(slightly edited for privacy) which I hope will be
useful for pinpointing what is going wrong.

Thanks in advance
Hazel
