I'm trying that, at the moment. I've re-run the configuration druid, this time saying yes to the STUN server question. The ekiga.net account has been stuck (busy) on "Registering" for the past half-hour. I've just looked in the Preferences. Under SIP Settings > Misc Settings it has listed Outbound Proxy: draytel.org:5060 Forward URL: sip:853290 These obviously relate to my Draytel account, and could explain why the program has hung. What should I enter for Outbound Proxy? Presumably ekiga.net but is it the same port number? I realise that the Forward URL field requires my new ekiga.net ID. Many thanks for help, and also to ael who replied to my original posting off-list. If you're there, ael, I prefer to keep it all on-list, as someone else may learn from my problems :) Bob -- Registered Linux User #463880 FSFE Member #1300 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 11.0, Kernel 2.6.25.18-0.2-default, KDE 3.5.10 Intel Celeron 2.53GHz, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
