ok, I have signed up for two different linphone sip accounts... I have

Yup! This just about sums up my first experience with Linphone. :) To
configure a SIP account, first make sure that ipv6 is disabled (if you
didn't touch it, it's OK). Then enter:
SIP identity: "sip:[email protected]"
SIP Proxy: "sip:sip.linphone.org"
@Simon: Some sort of tutorial or FAQ entry for the desktop version would
come very handy to newcomers. Even better, please simplify the process of
adding a new SIP account:
- the "sip:" part is utterly useless since Linphone does only SIP. This
helps only to confuse newcomers
- specifying twice "sip.linphone.org" is also unnecessary. At the very
least the SIP Proxy part should be made optional, and clearly labelled so.
Thus adding a new SIP account in Linphone can be as simple as specifying:
SIP identity: "[email protected]"
while the password is being asked later. This is the only info asked in
Jitsi (formerly SIP Communicator), and I must admit that it's much more
intuitive.
Let me know what you think. Cheers
Liviu
