I see the same when I am connected to a network where some IP traffic out is blocked.
Could it be that there are network firewall rules in place blocking your traffic?
Does it work when you are in a different network environment?

One think that made Skype popular and useful, back in the days when Skype was
peer-to-peer and end-to-end encrypted, was its ability to automatically work
despite various network blockings.  As far as I can tell, Ring do not have the
ability to automatically break free of the locked down networks, and thus have
less utility than Skype of old. :)
