Registering did always work until I upgraded. The process of upgrading
somehow changed my NAT Traversal setting to None from IP Translation. Once
you identified the solution everything was back to normal. Must remember to
check settings after the next upgrade.
I'm working from memory and at my age memory is not always reliable but I
recall that in previous versions setting NAT Traversal to STUN did not work
on my system. The problem lies I believe in the nature of my router/modem
(with its built-in firewall) which the druid reports as having a symmetric
firewall. I previously had to set NAT traversal to IP forwarding to make
Ekiga work. Now the druid will accept STUN but despite all that the druid
still reports a symmetric not a cone firewall. This is NOT a problem as
Ekiga does work, just an observation.
