Ekiga.net doesn't like private IPs appearing in SIP.  It doesn't like 
double NAT.  Ekiga.net doesn't work with either my home or office network.
(diamondcard.us and aptela.com have no problems).  I generally turn
off network detection.

I can only get ekiga.net to work with a public IP or single NAT layer
(which you can get at Starbucks, etc).

By any chance were you on a different network between morning and evening?
Perhaps one meets ekiga.net requirements, and the other doesn't.

All these NAT problems can be avoided if your contact has access to the 
same VPN as you (just skip ekiga.net and call direct).  I suspect that using
IP6 solves the problem as well.  I haven't tested, but that would be a good
reason to get serious about IP6.
