[Ekiga-list] Rv: registrar over dnydns?

[el_gallo_azul <el_gallo_azul yahoo com>]

I have a Fritz!Box 7390.

I have my landline number set up there, which is under Telephony>Telephone numbers in the Fritz!Box interface.

I also have two of my other SIP accounts set up there, with dummy telephone numbers.

The result of all that is that if, for example, you contact my Ekiga SIP address, my phone rings.

I can also use Ekiga softphone for video calls if I want, which doesn't use any of these Fritz!Box telephony "numbers", but uses my ADSL connection to the internet.

Importantly, I use the SIP registrar for softphones to make video calls, which means specifying the SIP server address as the registrar (eg. ekiga.net or sip.diamondcard.us and the corresponding usernames).

I myself have set up dyndns for my Fritz!Box IP address, but I haven't used it for a long time since AVM (the Fritz!Box manufacturer) made MyFritz! available for Android.

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 :(
