Ekiga & Asterisk on same computer

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hi everybody,

I’m trying to use a softphone Ekiga on my computer where I have Asterisk.

But the authentification doesn’t work.

At the beginning Ekiga said on other program (Asterisk) were using the port 5060. So, using gconf-editor, I changed the SIP port where was listening Ekiga. So the conflict disappeared.

The sip.conf of my asterisk :

[paul]
type=friend
context=default
dtmfmode=rfc2833
qualify=yes
port=5061
host=dynamic
username=paul
secret=paul
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
allow=h263
allow=h263p

This is my Ekiga configuration :
Account Name : paul
Registrar : 192.168.1.5:5060
User : paul
Password : paul
Authentication Login : paul
Registration Timeout : 3600

When i try to authenticate my Ekiga, nothing appears on the Asterisk’s CLI. On Ekiga there is just “Registration of paul to 192.168.0.5:5060…” and nothing more.

I hope someone coul help me.

Thank you in advance

Paul

I changed the SIP listen port with the command “sudo gconf-editor”. So i did the same thing with just “gconf-editor” and now, when i try to authenticate Ekiga he says :
“Registration failed : Timeout”

And still nothing on the CLI…

I found the problem. I made a mistake with an IP address… such a shame…

But if someone has some problems with Ekiga, make sure the changes on gconf-editor about the listening SIP port are really done.

Do the changes with the commands “sudo gconf-editor”, and next only “gconf-editor” to be sure that the changes are really made.
