It works for me on ekiga-4.0.1 with a domain (sip.diamondcard.us) - I
set up an account, and contacts are of the form "sip:18001234567".  This
is a feature of ekiga that I really like.  When I right click on a
contact, the popup shows configured accounts to complete the sip address.
Have you tried creating an account?  Maybe you need to add a name in
/etc/hosts ?  Is the problem that freepbx does do registration, and you
are making a peer to peer call?

I use IPs for direct peer to peer calls, normally with IP6 (which ekiga
doesn't currently support - I use linphone for that).
