Starting to develop malice for Ekiga

Error while starting the listener for the SIP protocol

You will not be able to receive incoming SIP calls. Please check that no other program is already running on the port used by Ekiga.

01:05:39 Started Ekiga 2.0.12 for user ***
01:05:41 Set STUN server to stun.ekiga.net (Cone NAT)
01:05:41 Registration of *** to ekiga.net failed

Nothing in, nothing out... strangely it worked for one call and now not for anything, even the echo

01:16:03 Calling sip:500@ekiga.net
01:16:04 Security check failed
01:16:20 Calling sip:501@ekiga.net
01:16:21 Security check failed

I have everything forwarded, DMZ status on the IP, no firewall

Suicide?

I ditched Ekiga a long time ago. Skype is better-performing client, in my book, in both audio and video quality. I also never get errors (like yours), dropped calls, or really any problems at all with skype. I can't say the same for Ekiga.

Skype for Linux is still light-years behind the Windows version, though, and as long as I don't have time constraints, I have no qualms about booting into my Windows partition just to make a call.
