iChat won't connect Netgear WGR614v6 router
Hey guys,
I just got rid of my wrt54gs linksys router (that worked great with my Mac) and got this Netgear WGR614 router that works good except for it will not allow ichat to open.... I keep getting this error that says "Lost connection with AIM... The connection to the host was unexpectedly lost." I did not have this problem with my Linksys... I decided to forward all the ports on my router for my mac. (My Mac's local address was 192.168.1.4) and i forewarded ALL the ports. it still does not connect and gives the same error... What gives? Anyone have any clue? |

The router aloows me to browse the web with no problems... but I can not video or audio chat with anyone. I have:
1.) Turned of SPI Firewall 2.) Turned on uPNP and still nothing. Any Ideas what to do next? Last edited by jaredromano; Jan 18, 2007 at 08:10 PM. Reason: Spelled type of router wrong |

This was the ideal solution, and was the only step I needed to get iChat to work between an iMac and a new MacBook. MANY THANKS!

Have the same iChat / Netgear problem on an older eMac I'm helping maintain.
I went to ichat preferences>accounts>server settings to change to port 443, but server settings (Server Options) was grayed out, and not available. Any ideas? oakenhead |

Can you simplify this...?
Also, I heard someone sign off, but all my friends were said to be signed off... When I try to IM ANYONE I get a message saying that my privacy settings won't allow me to communicate with them, but no one is blocked. I cannot get to to work for AIM or iChat, any suggestions? |
