I think it is ready now.

The firewall is probably the problem.

In a normal case, it means that the remote user (the one you are
calling) just put the phone on-hook. In your case, the message is 
more vague, it simply indicates that call couldn't complete.

Absolutely not. Where did you read that?
TCP_PORT_RANGE is for TCP
RTP_PORT_RANGE and GK_PORT_RANGE are both for UDP

If you made a confusion, it certainly explains why it doesn't work.

By blocking VoIP ports for normal users. But I doubt they would do that,
it is certainly not legal. I suggest you to proceed that way :
1) make sure your firewall is ok
2) try to make a few calls (you can ask for a developer on
irc.gnome.org, #gnomemeeting) without the quicknet card
3) when it works, try to make a few calls (you can ask for a developer
on irc.gnome.org, #gnomemeeting) with the quicknet card
4) when it works, you can start calling normal phone numbers

The firewall is often a source of problems. The provider can be another
source of problems, but in most cases, it should work.
