Thanks for the suggestion, but it turned to be a NAT issue (as usual).
My friend changed a modem for a router so introducing a NAT.
I discovered that Messenger cannot use STUN to traverse the NAT.
Going back to the modem, everything worked (better than ekiga 2, which is great!).

I guess asking for ideas how to solve the NAT issue for Messenger is Off-Topic here!

I will force him to install ekiga-windows.

Thanks
