Still won't work...trying to get the Triton on PC to connect to iChat. iChat responds with "insufficient bandwidth to maintain a connection". On whose side? I've got a 2MB connection downstream with 512k upstream and it's a decent connection. I didn't even get an error message on my .Mac account but my AIM one gave an error, but that was when the PC user initiated the video chat. My AIM username is harveypooka10. If anyone fancies trying it out to see if it works, I'd appreciate it.

I had the same weird message about insufficient bandwidth when i tried it with 2 machines (Triton/iChat) connected by a 100Mbps router...
Makes me believe that the problem isn't about bandwidth at all.

I found this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301641
and this

if your ISP has improperly programmed routers that block DSCP QoS technology you may find that you can no longer video chat after upgrading to Tiger and iChat 3.

Is that of any help for you?

The above link totally helped me out. I setup the firewall and my router ports and i'm back on conferencing. I used to get the "User did not respond" message.
