Re: [Ekiga-list] Ekiga ease of use? What am I missing?
You are right that skype just works, and this is a big win. Ekiga in some cases does not work, either because some structural limitations, or because of bugs. We are trying to fix the latter ones. If you wish help, just tell what you have tried and what does not work. Ekiga just works when NAT and firewalls get out of the way. In the real world, it just works when there is a NAT aware VOIP service or SIP proxy as an intermediary. Ekiga.net does not qualify - it just acts as a broker for nodes to find each other. Ekiga just works with diamondcard.us, nextiva.com, and other commercial VOIP services, without any special firewall setup. This is because ekiga is connecting to the service, instead of another node behind NAT. The problems people have are mostly with peer to peer operation, since both parties are typically behind NAT. There are two or three things that can solve this problem for ekiga: 1) Easy to deploy asterix server to use as a SIP proxy - acting like the commercial services. (It could be a commercial service - someone has to pay for the bandwidth.) 2) Support IAX protocol in ekiga. IAX combines all the UDP ports used in SIP and RTP into one UDP port, with a virtual port field in each packet. This would give ekiga essentially the same plugplay peer functionality of skype (without the monstrous security risk). 3) Support IP6 in ekiga. IP6 eliminates the NAT issues. There will still be firewall issues, however both Windows and Linux support dynamically updating the firewall (e.g. firewalld in Fedora), so ekiga could automate that for the end user. Today, ekiga works well as an open source client for a wide variety of commercial VOIP services. The company I used to work for replaced phones with SIP service (aptela, then nextiva when new owners broke aptela) years ago. This gives you a number of clients (including ekiga), and a number of competing services to chose from. ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
Re: [Ekiga-list] Ekiga rings, but no buttons or menu items let me answer the call
On 05/17/2013 12:34 PM, Greg Ferber expounded in part: This has happened to me several times recently. Ekiga is connected, I can place calls if so desired, and someone calls me. I get the ringing sound, but none of the buttons or menu entries will let me pick up the call. Windows 7 x64, Ekiga 4.0.1, using SIP (specifically SimpleSignal service, which uses BroadSoft, in case that matters) Any clues? Heh. This is a big problem. I thought Windows was supposed to pop up the call window instead of using notifiers? On unix desktops with notifiers, ekiga pops up a notifier with Accept and Reject buttons. Unfortunately, 2 out of 4 desktop systems tested have broken notifiers, so that you can't answer calls on those desktops either. Working desktops so far in Fedora are gnome-shell and mate (cinnamon and gnome-fallback are broken). I've been campaigning for the developers to make always using the Call window a config option, instead of relying the desktop environment to tell the truth about whether buttons on notifiers are supported (cinnamon lies) and assuming they actually work. It is good to try to support notifiers by default, since that is more elegant, and integrated with the desktop. But being able to fall back to the call window without recompiling would be great. ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list

You aren't doing anything wrong, but installing with make has no effect on your distro's package manager. For synaptic to know about your install, you would need to create a deb package and install it with apt-get or synaptic.

The person who calls gets then only a busy tone. I'm registered at sipgate.de. Any ideas how to solve this problem? I'm using sipgate version Version : 3.2.7 Release : 4.fc14 for Fedora14. This is strange, because a fix for this bug (see http://git.gnome.org/browse/ekiga/commit/?h=gnome-2-26id=3b636f02e80) was fixed by 3.2.7. Could you send us the debug output (-d 4)? We've found this to be caused by session timeout in NAT firewall. Try reducing registration timeout to 5 mins. The twinkle softphone has a NAT keepalive setting which sends do nothing packets every minute. ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list

Then NATing would happen only on your Linux server, which you can configure to your likening. That would be ok, except - Looks like I configured the Linksys to only have access to selected services on the server and the internet. Bridging would give it access to the rest of the LAN. I have an openvpn that laptops use to talk to each other and the LAN. I guess I didn't trust WPA much :-) I also remember wanting to make the WAP public, in which case I certainly wouldn't give it access to the LAN :-) I think a sipproxy is the best solution. Btw if you plan to post the trace on the list, please attach a zipped pcap file rather than posting it's contents inline. The latter makes it hard to read. Sorry about that. Will zip it next time.

You said something about ekiga not using the advertised port. Such a bug was fixed in ekiga 3.2.7, do you use this version or more ancient one? However, that bug prevented the packet to reach ekiga client, not making the sender send 606... The bug fixed in 3.2.7 was to use the nat port for RTP connections, not the SIP connection. The nat port isn't used for the SIP connection because the registry wants to give out an IP,port that works from any public ip, not just the registry. This is why port forwarding must be used, and there can be only one SIP client behind a nat firewall. (I'm talking like an expert already, but I'm really not.) This beginner thinks that it would be possible to proxy SIP traffic (which is low bandwidth) through the registry, using the nat port for SIP, and thereby support multiple simultaneous SIP clients behind the nat firewall. This seems, in fact, to be what my companies commercial VOIP outfit (aptela.com) does, since it supports multiple SIP clients behind our iptables nat firewall. I'm pretty sure I don't understand it all yet, because I don't see how STUN can give ekiga (the program) the nat port to use for an RTP connection (which would be to a different IP). Send us the whole conversation (REGISTER and 606 answer I suppose). Will do as soon as I get home. But I discovered a new wrinkle last night. If I load the ip_nat_sip module for the iptables nat at home, then ekiga.net lets me register. However, diamondcard.us and aptela.com conversations then lose outgoing audio! I also discovered that aptela.com will only let me register at home with STUN turned off. diamondcard.us works either way (except for losing outgoing audio with ip_nat_sip loaded). Obviously, I'm not exactly sure what ip_nat_sip does... ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
