You mean it's not possible that it would be listening at port 32851? 

krist bern-1 krist $ netstat -an --inet --program

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:1720            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

udp        0      0 192.168.0.2:32866       0.0.0.0:*                           
11719/gnomemeeting

(I;ve cut none relevant processes...)

Did just that. 
Call is being mad OK, (Ie. the phone rings at the other side), but I do not 
get any sound, in both directions.

This is exactly the same symptom I now can reliably reproduce when behind my 
firewall...

Thus: I make a call to some telephone nr.
That telephone rings.
Telephone is picked up.
Neither me nor the other person are able to talk...

I know. And thank you for your suggestion, which was upgrading to the latest 
version. After I'd done that I was able to place a few calls succesfully.
I then went abroad for a few days and didn't use gnomemeeting for a while. 
When I decided to give it another try two days ago it wouldn't work, with all 
kind of weird behaviour. And today it still doesn't work, with all kinds of 
other behaviour. I haven't even rebooted the system in between, let alone 
changed anything in the config.

Greetings,

Krist
