I had some similar issues as well, they were related to the combination 
of Ekiga and my router. Long story short: disabling  stun made this to 
work for me. There is no UI for this, you have to patch directly into 
the gconf database: install the gconf-editor package, use it from 
Application | System Tools
The path is /apps/ekiga/nat/disable_stun. If your router works like 
mine, disable all forwarding etc and let it handle sip in its own way.
