So for now possible solutions are: 

=head4 Solution 1 

Fixing DNS and making SRV records pass fine. If you are using router
with DNS support please check its settings. If DNS server is beyond
your control we suggest you change your DNS server to some public DNS
server. Here is the list of L<public DNS
servers|http://www.tech-faq.com/public-dns-servers.shtml>. 

New DNS should be specified in /etc/resolve.conf before currently used
server. 

=head4 Solution 2 

Update Ekiga to development version 

Here is a source of daily snapshots http://snapshots.seconix.com 

For example for Ubuntu Gusty it can be done as explained in the
L<wiki|https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga#head-ed6f894137a25b2f
3f82b73c30f88d04be4da807> 

1. Install pgp keys as explained in wiki 

2. Register repository with: 

deb http://snapshots.ekiga.net/ubuntu/ gutsy main 

3. Remove standard ekiga 

4. Install the package ekiga-snapshot 

After you've made these changes you can check how Ekiga works making a
free test call to Echo test number as its explained at
L<Ekiga|EkigaPhone> page.
