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.

Looking at Wiki and tinkering around, I think (not sure) it's disabled with following:
gconftool-2  -t bool -s /apps/ekiga/general/nat/disable_stun true

Tested it and it did not make difference though :(.
 

* 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).

My hostname has been other than localhost all the time. 

Thanks for the tips, unfortunate that they did not solve this issue.
