Most probably the NAT binding expired. If it is reproducable, perhaps he could try setting a lower
value in /apps/ekiga/protocols/sip/binding_timeout using gconftool-2,
gconf-editor or your favorite text editor if it is on windows.

Ekiga has been working fine since then. No further problems with NAT and his adsl modem router.

Conclusion: the very time that he configured ekiga, he could call me but I couldn't call him. But after restarting ekiga, it has been working very well since then, no problem at all even after ekiga restarts and computer reboots. It 'just works' :)
