Then maybe the STUN checking has a bug?!  Less likely, but anyway:

Wireshark, formerly known as ethereal, is a very powerfull network tool:

You have to learn few things for basic use:

Hi,

I put at http://eugen.dedu.free.fr/m.exe the latest ekiga (post 4.0.1) 
with a modification done between 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 removed.  This is the 
only modification I see which could generate the problem you describe.


Test it and tell if it gives the same results as 4.0.0 or not.

Hi Eugen and thank you again for your persistence in this matter :).

Since I do not want to repeatedly install one version of Ekiga over the
other and repeat the same tests over and over, I will just say that each
test was repeated MANY times in each mode on each version of the program.
The exact chronology of the actions taken and results observed is
depicted exactly in this thread. Reading all entries from the start
should answer your questions. But, for your convenience, here are my
answers again:

Polaris, you wrote that ekiga 4.0.0 works, but ekiga 4.0.1 does not.


4.0.0 worked better than 4.0.1. 01 couldn't even register to Ekiga.net
and not even an echo test worked. But 00 never worked fully either -
echo and call back tests worked (with video present) but calls to
another person (only one person was called and calls were recieved from
him multiple times within 30 minutes) only worked without video (ie:
voice only). Only once, for a brief instant I saw an image of the other
person at the very beginning of the call. After that the image
disappeared and the call continued in voice only. The results of that
test were described in February's thread: Ekiga test today.


Do you always or most often receive the dialogue box about Ekiga did
not manage to configure... when starting ekiga 4.0.0? But with 4.0.1?


The dialogue box about Ekiga not configuring ports was appearing EVERY
time Ekiga started for BOTH 4.0.0 and 4.0.1. This was the case on BOTH
computers tested (desktop and laptop both of which were behind the same
firewall of my gateway). The required ports on my firewall (m0n0wall)
were opened manually and verified as being open with PF Port Checker
from both computers.

With 4.0.0, has it worked with several outgoing and incoming calls, or
you have tested only once (calling once 5...@ekiga.net for ex.)?


After I first installed 4.0.0, both echo and call back tests always
worked with video (repeated MANY times). After I installed 4.0.1 over
4.0.0, nothing worked even once. Then two things were done: I installed
Skype and installed 4.0.0 over 4.0.1 (don't remember which was done
first). The roll back was done as per your request to run the -d 4 log
on 4.0.0. But after the rollback, 4.0.0 didn't work as before. The echo
test now always works with audio only (never with video) and the call
back test now never works: Ekiga hangs as soon as I pick up after the
system calls me back and this happens every time.

Please do several tests, call and receive calls, and only afterwards
answer this e-mail.

I ask this because I am told that BOTH releases do not work for you in
fact. As soon as the dialogue box appear (if it appears occasionally,
say 10% of the time, then this is not a problem), the port forwarding
does not function properly. In this case we try to PREVENT you from
registering, since even if you do register, you will certainly have
communication problems (non audio/video most of the time when calling
or when called).

I understand that it is annoying, but adding a checkbox means adding it 
to configuration files too, allow users to uncheck it, take into account 
users who forgot this, or worse users who change network (work-home) 
and where parameters are different etc.


So we need to think a bit about that before implementing anything.

Ekiga starts.

Check whether you can be called too. See

for some information.


2. To confirm that I am getting out there and to see how things work, I
wanted to call someone but every person I tried in the address book was
unavailable. Would someone be so kind as to make themselves available
for a short chat (I can make myself available during most of the day and
am in GMT - 8 )?

3. Audio: During the tests there was a lot of echo even after I enabled
echo cancellation in preferences. What can I do to improve the sound?


Echo cancellation is not high quality. Buy a headset.


4. Video: Is there a way to make the video conference window occupy the
whole screen (my monitor is set to 1024x768)?


Use fullscreen in View menu during conversation.

Too bad you didn't ask me for this log before I got rid of 4.0.0 :)
To roll back the version (under Win), should I do an uninstall of the
newer version first?

Thanks Eugen.
  I wonder how soon the fix will become available.  Will it be included 
in 4.0.2 or earlier?

Re #1 (port error message):
In case the details of my setup will help to figure out the reason, here 
they are:


I was running Ekiga 4.0.0 under Win XP sp2 on a Pentium III box without 
any firewall on it.  My firewall is m0n0wall running on a separate box 
acting as a gateway.


If I can make calls just fine and in case, due to the particulars of my 
set up, Ekiga is unable to automatically test for open ports, is it 
possible to change something manually within Ekiga so as not to see this 
annoying message?


Thanks.

As far aas I can say, it is not easy to find out if it will work or

Yes for both; alternatively, I have seen USB microphone+speaker which 
do, they say, echo cancellation, probably in hardware, but this 
needs to be tested.  No VoIP free software has professional echo 
cancellation support.



Regarding Video Quality:
My camera supports res up to 720p, Ekiga is suppose to support up to
480p but the picture I observed on my screen was rather poor. Besides
lighting, is there anything I can do to improve the picture?


Use maximum available resolution in ekiga.  Try also the video control 
small window in ekiga (lighting, contrast etc.), once the call window 
is shown.

Check whether you can be called too. See

unavailable. Would someone be so kind as to make themselves available

3. Audio: During the tests there was a lot of echo even after I 
enabled

echo cancellation in preferences. What can I do to improve the sound?


Echo cancellation is not high quality. Buy a headset.

4. Video: Is there a way to make the video conference window occupy 
the

whole screen (my monitor is set to 1024x768)?


Use fullscreen in View menu during conversation.

Echo cancellation is not high quality. Buy a headset.

the
whole screen (my monitor is set to 1024x768)?

Re: open port error message

Just installed 4.0.1 (over 4.0.0 on WinXP).  The old port message is 
still there (no big surprise) but now I get another problem: In the 
system tray I get a yellow triangle exclamation warning saying: Could 
not register to Ekiga.net.  Now even the echo test doesn't work, I get 
a message: Security check failed.  So now Ekiga really doesn't work 
for me...

thread: 'Ekiga test today'] What to do next?


As far aas I can say, it is not easy to find out if it will work or not, 
so that text message will remain there.  We have to think about all that.



Re #3: Is echo problem common place with Ekiga and is a head set the
only way to eliminate it?


Yes for both; alternatively, I have seen USB microphone+speaker which 
do, they say, echo cancellation, probably in hardware, but this needs 
to be tested.  No VoIP free software has professional echo cancellation 
support.



Regarding Video Quality:
My camera supports res up to 720p, Ekiga is suppose to support up to
480p but the picture I observed on my screen was rather poor. Besides
lighting, is there anything I can do to improve the picture?


Use maximum available resolution in ekiga.  Try also the video control 
small window in ekiga (lighting, contrast etc.), once the call window is 
shown.

Check whether you can be called too. See

for some information.


2. To confirm that I am getting out there and to see how things work, I
wanted to call someone but every person I tried in the address book was
unavailable. Would someone be so kind as to make themselves available
for a short chat (I can make myself available during most of the day and

Maybe http://wiki.ekiga.org?


Question #2: Assuming it's not one of the questions answered in the

Ekiga web page lists only those for BSD, OpenSolaris, Windows...and
the sources, of course.


We do not yet have a binary for OpenSUSE.  Each distribution builds 
programs itself; it's not us who build for all distributions (with a few 
exceptions).  Please check in their own repositories.  Ask if you do not 
know how to do it.
