[Ekiga-list] Some general SIP questions

[el_gallo_azul <el_gallo_azul yahoo com>]

After thinking about it, I realised yesterday that what I said might have given the impression that I don't know what I'm talking about, which is kind of true.

I have three SIP accounts:

1. An ekiga.net account
I set this up a long time ago because I wanted to find an alternative to Skype, and this looked like the best way to get my feet wet.

2. A diamondcard account
I got this originally so that I could call SIP-->phone to my Auntie in another country

3. A SIP account with my ISP
This one replaced my POTS landline a year or so ago. It is a SIP account which enables my landline number to function the same as my old POTS number.

I have the following questions:

1. Can any SIP account establish a connection with any other SIP account?

2. What is the nature of the obstacles in the way of this? For example, some registrars not being able to establish connections with others, commercial 'gateways', etc.

3. Is more than one SIP account in my e-mail signature redundant (assuming all three registrars are working)?

Hi Greg

Thanks for getting back so promptly.  I have received an email welcoming me to ekiga.net that says the registration process is now done.  It confirms my SIP address.

Regards

Eric Jackson

Be aware that an Ekiga SIP account (a free ekiga.net one) can only be used to connect to another ekiga.net account.

You should certainly be able to carry out an echo test though.

Have you seen any evidence that the account is registering properly?

Asunto: [Ekiga-list] Connecting to ekiga.net through Jitsi

I have just installed Jitsi & set up a sip address at ekiga.net, but am unable to connect.  When I try to go online, or even attempt an echo test I receive the following message:

"Connection failed for the following account: User name eric_in_spain, Server name ekiga.net"

What am I doing incorrectly, or failing to do in the first place?
