I downloaded and installed Ekiga successfully to a Windows XP box and a PCLinuxOS machine. Ekiga passed all built in and ekiga.net provided tests on both computers. Both computers are on my wired home network. The computers successfully called and answered each other using both SIP and H323 protocols and maintained the connection. All good. Now the bad. Neither computer would display the other computers video, only the video of the owning computer. Neither computer would recieve audio. The mic VU meter on both computers indicated transmission but neither speaker VU meter indicated reception. So, contact was made, but communication was not successful. The Windows XP computer was behind a double firewall (computer & router) and the PCLinuxOS computer was behind a single firewall (router only). I hesitate to think this was the problem because both computers passed all the tests at ekiga.net which had to go through the firewalls. This is a great app with much promise and I'm gonna keep at it until somebody or me makes it work cross-platform. The worlds need for this capability is increasing logarithmically.

However, Windows Messenger is not available on Vista..anyone found a solution ?

Nice one! Thank you for the link, mate. The problem is I have no access to any Window$ at the moment and can't proceed with any testings. Of course it's possible to use VMware to emulate Windows but to get testings more clear I'd like to perform it with Linux and Windows which are physically at different computers :) I hope to get something next week.

With Vista, Microsoft just dropped the SIP support and promote their own closed protocol (Windows Live Messenger). This will probably improve at the time Ekiga 3.0 will be out (it will support numerous video codecs, including the excellent H.264). Wengophone only works with wengophone for video due to bad implementation of the video codec (non-standard). Regards, Yannick Hi,
