You're right, but this tells that the two internal computers cannot 
communicate to each other.

However, they should communicate simultaneously with computers from 
Internet, such as echo test for ex.  Changing 5060 port is not needed 
for that.

If only one computer runs ekiga, does it work?  Finally, be sure to use 
3.2.7, since it fixed a bug like this.
