I don't know whether I do or don't have any sort of problem with DNS, I
 
need to ask the network administrator.
 
 
I have also noticed that if the machine isn't connected to any
 
network then the GUI of Ekiga would start after one to three seconds,
 
but if the machine is connected to some router (regular network, unlike
 
this particular case) then the GUI of Ekiga would start after ten or
 
twenty seconds, sometimes you'll need to wait up to ninety seconds,
 
which is very unfortunate and gives a bad impression to new users that
 
are experiencing this kind of behavior.
 
 
Why does Ekiga waits for a working connection before it starts the GUI
 
instead of starting the GUI before it and Ekiga will indicate about
 
"searching..." for a working connection in its status-bar?
