Re: [Ekiga-list] segmentation faults and "Remote host is offline"

I have had some difficulties with old ekiga in wireless environment. I tried ekiga 4.0.1 both in wireless and 
wired environment; results are somewhat reversed.

ekiga 2.0.12 works perfectly on a wired network but very slow to register or originate a call on a wireless, 
these actions took more than 60 seconds to complete if they ever did. Actions fail frequently.

ekiga 4.0.1 works perfectly on a *wireless* (it's WiMax, not WiFi) connection but not so good on a wired network. On a wired 
network (ADSL), while trying to register, -d 2 log says "PDU is likely too large (1596 bytes) for UDP datagram" before 
giving up and say "remote host is offline."

Not sure about segmentation faults but ekiga 4.0.1 aborts once or twice during the course of these tests.


-d 2 log excerpt:
(for your information only. I'll tweak the app/env a bit more before throwing a log at you guys to call for 
help :-)

-----------------
Installing ekiga 4.0.1 requires me to add some unstable packages from the debian repository to freshly 
installed debian 7.0, which came with GNOME 3.2. Uggg. Can't find gconf-editor either. Ok, need more 
reading/searching...
