It's a very complex topic. First of all, when you make a call to ...@ekiga.net, Ekiga uses the public IP of your LAN to set up the connection; the same goes for incoming calls. Assuming there are no NAT issues, you end up with a call where both parties send their audio to the public IP of the router. The problem is that most routers do not loopback LAN traffic sent to it's public IP (ie. the public IP is essentially unreachable from the LAN), and you get no audio. There are solutions for this, but that needs changes both to Ekiga code and ekiga.net configuration. A workaround would be to set up an outbound SIP proxy on the LAN, which would detect LAN-LAN calls and rewrite SIP packets/fork when necessary.
