[Ekiga-list] help with Ekiga and siproxd config

[Rob Owens <rowens ptd net>]

I have several Ekiga clients on my LAN, and I'm trying to get them all
to be able to make outgoing/incoming calls over the internet.  I *think*
what I need is siproxd, but I'm having trouble with it.  (If there's a
better way to do what I'm trying to accomplish, please let me know).

I have siproxd installed on a server that is not my gateway (my gateway
is just a home router).  I have Ekiga's "outbound proxy" set to the
siproxd machine.  For "NAT traversal method" I have "none".  I have the
following ports forwarded from my router to the siproxd machine:

UDP 5000-5100
UDP 7070-7089 (this corresponds to my siproxd.conf file -- see below)

In siproxd.conf I have the following settings, among others:

if_inbound  = eth0
if_outbound = eth0
host_outbound = mypublicdomain.com

rtp_port_low  = 7070	(siproxd default)
rtp_port_high = 7089	(siproxd default)

I also have avahi running on the LAN, so that I can see addresses in the
"Contacts Near Me" address book.

I've only tested on 2 machines so far, both running Ekiga 2.0.12.  Here 
are my findings:

On both the Ubuntu Hardy and the Debian Lenny machine, I can connect to
500 ekiga net and it seems to work properly.

On the Debian machine, I can connect to 520 ekiga net and it always
calls me back.  Most of the time it works correctly, but once in a while
I don't hear anything when I answer the callback.

On the Ubuntu machine, I can connect to 520 ekiga net and it always
calls me back, but I never hear anything when I answer.
