Ekiga.net account with Ekiga cannot connect to sip2sip.info addresses

I have an account arcfide@ekiga.net registered and I can successfully make an echo test with Ekiga 3.0.1. I am running SUSE Linux Enterprise Destop 11 SP1 with the default Ekiga installed. I am running on a Lenovo T500 laptop behind a NetGear router with SIP ALG disabled. I am able to call other Ekiga.net users, but I am unable to call sip2sip.info addresses. As an example, with Blink on Mac, I am able to connect to 4444@sip2sip.info, which is an echo test. I cannot do so with Ekiga on Linux. I have tried the variations in the address bar of 4444@sip2sip.info and sip:4444@sip2sip.info. I have also tried some friend's sip2sip.info address, which experiences the same problems. After some time attempting to connect, the error message "Could not connect to remote host" appears in the status field.
3.0.1 is too old. Please try with ekiga >= 3.3.1 and, if the bug is still there, attach the log output (-d 4), thank you. Additionally, I have just tried calling 4444@sip2sip.info with ekiga 3.3.2 and it works. Check also that you do not have all the codecs selected in Preferences (let only 3-4 audio codecs checked on), elsewhere you are hit by a bug where packet is too large to be transmitted.
