I am behind a NAT router (Billion Bipac 5100) and it connects using the Ekiga STUN server without any port forwarding. I talk to a friend who has the same setup only with some other brand of router (forget what it is right now) through the ekiga.net network. And, as I mentioned above, I talk to Winders users through the Gizmo network. The only trouble that I have had with it is that some of the codecs don't seem to work well. I get good Gizmo connections with GSM and talk to FWD people with PCMU. For some reason, the Speex codecs have caused me grief, but I haven't tried them for some time.
