Its still a possibility. He hasnt said he's recieved any calls, and when you set up the phone call, it usually requires both users to be dialable

In the first post he said: "my brother, who is also using Linphone can call me but I can't call him." So he can receive calls.
The systems usually work by first you connect to them, and then they connect back to you, hence them both requiring to be firewalled correctly.
Like youve said, the problem is after he's connected to his brother the program trys to connect back but can't. Maybe a different port is used for the connection back to a caller then the ports used to call some one. May asking on the Linphone site or mailing list would be a better place of info on this problem(unless some ALUG'er is going to dig in the code?).
Hrm - I think that this document says it all really: http://www.linphone.org/doc/us/manual/x137.html?PHPSESSID=e496d49b3c0b292bf1...
So, choice of 2, set the router to shift all packets towards himself, or set up a SIP proxy.
