Thank you for the pointer. Indeed it looks like Siproxd never forwards the ACK to Ekiga. Instead it seems to respond with a 408 Timeout (twice). Perhaps you can confirm this reading from the logs below?
While probably insignificant to my problem, I also noticed that Ekiga does not route PUBLISH requests to Siproxd but directly to the Sipphone server (198.65.166.131). Isn't that supposed to go through the proxy, too?
