Unfortunately from my original message you can see that this is not so. Another possibility would be that you have no network interface ready when Ekiga starts. This is also not so - I was online just fine and its config had the correct interface selected. Mark ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list

I'm using Ekiga 2.0.11 under 64-bit Linux 2.6.24. When I start ekiga, it tells me I won't be able to receive incoming calls. However, it just says 'Error while starting the listener ...' and 'check no other program is running on the port used ...' without saying anything about what the error was or what port it's talking about! Not that I'm aware of any reason why anything else would be listening on such ports: Have you tried: 1. Making sure that Ekiga is trying to use the correct network interface: Edit - Preferences - Protocols - Network Settings - Network Interface: ListenOn 2. That your firewall is set up correctly. The wiki http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Ekiga_behind_a_NAT_router has a wealth of information on the topic (although the first-time setup GUI should have given you information about it you can run it again by Edit - Configuration Druid 3. You can get more information by running ekiga from the command line with the highest debugging level ekiga -d 4 Hope some of that helps. The wiki and the archives of this mailing list are probably the most helpful thing though.

No. Read the wiki. The NAT test thing said Port Restricted NAT. Possibly the problem... Mind you, I'm about to change ISP, and I could compile SIP and H.323 support into my NAT box If you are implementing your own NAT then it should be easy to fix. ael ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list

The NAT test thing said Port Restricted NAT. That should be fine. The other possible culprit then is that you have a previous instance of ekiga running which hasn't been killed properly. Looking at your original email again I see that I missed this line: When I quit ekiga, the window closes but it just hangs and doesn't terminate. So, it's quite possible that you have a previous instance of ekiga hanging around. You can check for sure with netstat -p -l | grep ekiga and follow it up with a killall ekiga or just kill the PID mentioned in the PID/ekiga column output from the above. Hope that helps, I'm out of easy ideas after that. Best wishes, Oisin Feeley ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
