If Telepathy works, good for you. If it works in general (as in the
iptel.org trace) but not with ekiga.net, then it looks like you're out
of luck.

I bet Telepathy works because it's using ICE instead of STUN to go
through NAT. On the other hand, ekiga.net can be used only with STUN
(otherwise you get a 606 Not Acceptable because of a private address
in top Via).

Some things that could get Ekiga working:
* Disable STUN (it's somewhere in gconf) - if your router is rewriting
SIP packets, that could do the trick, assuming the router is good at
it.
* Set your machine's hostname to something other than localhost - that
could help with the Call-ID problem (IIRC Ekiga's using the hostname
for Call-ID, I wonder where that IP came from).
