[Trisquel-users] OT: How To Configure Router for SIP Phone?

[Dave Hunt]

Hi, Trisquellers!

In the interest of going totally free (software app wise), I'm trying 
SIP clients, instead of Skype, for voice chatting.  I have Ekiga and 
LinPhone installed.  When using the echo test server on Ekiga, I hear 
the greeting, but not myself.  After 30 to 45 seconds, the call is 
dropped, with a message about the remote end seeming to have dropped the 
call.  If I call, or get called by, a friend, the conversation seems to 
work, but gets dropped within a minute.  If, instead of my home network, 
I use a public wifi spot, I can make SIP calls with no trouble, and 
little latency.

an anyone suggest router setup that may allow me to make SIP audio/video 
calls on my home network?


Thanks,


Dave
