I am not sure if h323 is enabled by default in Ekiga.
You can check on the target machine if port h323 (port number 1720) is open.
To do so, you can use the GNOME nettool
(http://projects.gnome.org/gnome-network/screenshots/info_netstat.jpg)
to display active network services.
You can also perform a port-scanning from the caller computer to the
callee computer to see if that port is open.
