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.

Thanks for the input.  I don't have the exact key you mentioned.  I do have /apps/ekiga/general/nat/ and created a boolean key disable_stun with a value of true but that doesn't turn off stun.  It's still trying to use it.  I tried leaving the stun server field blank and didn't get much further.   I put my pc in the DMZ zone on the router and now I'm getting a 401 unauthorized error during my capture as well as an unreachable, yet I can ping the address.
