Thanks Damien. Tried that, but it did not work unfortunately.  Fedora release ekiga-3.0.2-2.fc10 update yesterday. Updated and also no change.

Is it possible that the problem is on the provider site? If so, which value/setting should I ask them to set/use?

Anything else in Ekiga I can set. Proxy for instance? Can I edit STUN settings in Ekiga? Any other ideas?

Thanks again.

Bas.
