!!! Attention Linux Users!!! To have JMF's RTP working you'll have to make sure your host name is not against 127.0.0.1 address (default for some distros) in the /etc/hosts file. You should have a separate entry for your real IP Address. For example, a box named linbox with an IP address 131.56.80.155 should have an /etc/hosts file that looks approximately like this:

127.0.0.1     localhost
131.56.80.155 linbox

If you'd like to be using SIP Communicator with IPv6 you should have your IPv6 (preferably global) address against your hostname.
