Re: [Ekiga-list] Warning startup - enable port forwarding manually. My router is correctly config. Why??

[David Taveras <d3taveras38d3 gmail com>]

Hello Eugene,

You where right.

unix3 seveneleven:~$ ekiga -d 4 2>&1|grep STUN
2010/03/16 14:51:23.893	  0:03.327	StunDetector:0xb737db70	OPAL	STUN
server "stun.ekiga.net" replies Symmetric NAT, external IP
137.107.48.228

What is the importance of forwarding these? None of the other
softphones that ive used ask for such config on the router. How would
it affect?

Andres
