Hello. I have just bought a web cam and am trying to get Ekiga working, but without much success! As this is my first attempt at setting up 'web chatting', I am very much a newbie. So sorry if this is a very basic question.
When I run Ekiga, without even trying to connect, the TX/RX light on my router immediately comes on and stays on permanently. The only way to stop it being on, is to switch the router off. It stays on even when I have shut ekiga down. Whilst it is on, the router is blocked and cannot be used for anything. I have another problem as well, which I am sending in the same message in case they are related. There is no sound. When I run the set-up wizard and do the sound test, nothing. The mic and speaker sliders in the audio tab are completely to the left. When I try to move them, they spring back to the left, so the audio is always turned right down. I have tried Ekiga on three Linux distributions and each has the same problems. Also, I have tested two other 'chat' programs and neither have this router problem. I have been told that, in order to get Linux 'chat' programs sending and receiving, I need the forwarding ports open in my router: Start 6890 End 6900 UDP 5060 TCP 1720 This I have done. The router works well for surfing and mailing. It's just with Ekiga! I have searched the archives and Googled, but no success. So if anyone can please help me, I would be very grateful. Many thanks Keith _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
