Okay - let me put that straight:
I can use ekiga with the WAN IP of my router as registrar (since it
works obviously perfectly) but I can't use the dyndns which should be
(per definition) nothing else but a mapping between hostname an ip. It
sounds a bit weird to me.
Also I don't use the voip provider directly (which I wanted to make
clear by saying: the registrar is my router).
It is connected to the isp (which in my case is the voip provider) and
forwards calls to it's
clients - e.g. ekiga (or the "normal" telephone).
And since it shall forward the calls not only in LAN but over WAN, I
need to tell ekiga the WAN ip of my router - and here I want to use
dyndns.....
So you see: in this loop there is dyndns which doesn't work :(
