step 3:launch linphone on gnome:

Applications -> Internet -> Linphone


step 4: configure the Linphone

Go -> Preferences -> Network
Nat traversal options -> Use this stun... : stun.sipgate.net:10000
leave all other default settings

Go -> Preferences -> SIP
Identity -> Your Sip address : sip: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX @ sipgate.de
remove the check from : Automatically guess a valid hostname
Remote services -> add proxy/registar
sip identity: sip:YYYYYYYYY@sipgate.de
sip proxy: sip:sipgate.de
leave all other default settings

you should be prompted with another box with asking for the following:
realm="sipgate.de"
username=YYYYYYYYY
userid=YYYYYYYYY
passwd=ZZZZZZ

In the end you should see an account inside the Remote services box with:
sip: YYYYYYYYY@sipgate.de

apply the configurations and close.

You should now be registered sucessfully on the provider softswitch.


step 5: check/audit your settings is by looking at the following configuration file:
