Re: [Ekiga-list] cannot register my sip address

I'm also quite new to Ekiga, but I found one trick to get past
the message that it can't register your sip address.  When you
run the initial configuration assistant (wizard), on the screen
where it asks for your sip account, _DON'T_ enter anything, but
check the checkbox that you don't want to register a sip address
and go on.  It's not very clear, but it appears that page is for
you to register a _new_ address that has never been registered
before.  I think I had to also delete my saved configuration in
the ~/.gconf/apps/ekiga to get it to let me start over from
scratch.  After I got through the configuration assistant, I
added the pre-existing sip account through edit -> accounts or
something similar.  Then again, I'm trying to use 3.2.6, so it
might be different.

(The UI for that part of the configuration assistant could be
made more clear...)

Good luck with the network configuration.  I'm still battling
that issue myself.  It appears 500 ekiga net is often down,
which complicates the issue.  At the moment, I'm am able to
connect a call, but there's no audio output, even though I am
able to hear test plays of wav files.
