I get this problem with any VOIP account, not just ekiga.net.  It 
started happening with ekiga-3.9.  I found a workaround:

1) When you first start ekiga, it gets the "offline" error for all VOIP 
accounts.
2) Edit Preferences, and toggle "detect network".
3) Quit ekiga (don't just close the window)
4) Start ekiga, toggle "detect network" back to where it needs to be for 
your accounts.
5) Quit ekiga again, and restart.
6) Voila!  All VOIP accounts connect and register
