I have the the subject router, a decision from my ISP I have to live
with. I've really never been able achieve long-term stability with
Ekiga, the registration has dropped after some time (~1 hour?). Another
strange symptom has been the Edit Acoount Dialog. When invoked and saved
with the same data, my registrar became Unregistered. Repeating the
Edit/Save procedure, still w same data, turned the registrar to
Registered.
To make it work at all I after a while found out that the router has an
Application Layer Gateway (ALG) for sip (thanks, Damien!). Using this
means to disable stun, and rely on the the routers' sip management. And
indeed, I could both call place and recieve calls. But no long-term
stability.
The problem seems to be the ALG, it's just buggy according to a lot of
threads out there. Furhermore, it cannot be disabled with the v6 version
of the firmware. It was possible in some older versions(!)
Solution: go around the ALG by using another port than 5060 (I use
5080). Enable stun. Setup port forwarding (a k a Game Sharing...) to
port 5080/UDP in the router. Done.
BTW: this means that it's not a trivial setup decision to use the ALG
just because it's there. This à propos the discussion about automatic
recognition of sip-aware routers in the initial configuration wizard.
Thanks for the feedback!
Please report them a bug...
