My last tries with Ekiga showed that it cannot cope with all aspects of 
SIP protocoll handling. It either does not comply with the specs itself, 
or it cannot reliably handle SIP registrars that violate SIP specs. With 
the result that Ekiga e.g. does not end SIP calls properly. They stay 
active indefinitely effectively blocking my SIP line.

So, it is not really "snap your fingers" ...

You might be experiencing some NAT problems. In corporate network e.g. 
some other person's / server' SIP client /proxy might be actually using 
those ports already. There is alot that can go wrong when using SIP 
behind firewalls / NATed..
