Sorry for the late reply and bumping up an old post. I have got a similar
situation on a HP laptop. I tried the experimental version ( 3.2.5) and that
gives video to my parents on the vista machine ( unlike the current stable).
However, I am unable to connect to  ekiga 3.2.4 on a debian system. It connects
but does not give any data rate and breaks off after a minute or so. Can you
enlighten us how you solved the problem, I noticed another post where you say
you resolved the issue?
Cheers

Michael
