You're talking about Ekiga?

In my (limited) experience, that's typically a problem with NAT and/or
STUN. Pay close attention to what the configuration druid says about
it. You can re-run the configuration druid by clicking "edit",
"configuration druid".

If my understanding is correct, this is a potential problem with any SIP
client.

Also, Ekiga's STUN server was down recently. Maybe about a week ago,
and it lasted about a day. You can search the internet for the mailing
list archives -- it's in there.
