Cannot ichat video chat - communication error

[upinflames900]

When trying to do a video chat, a friend of mine continues to get the same error message with anyone who he tries to video chat with. The computer is a July 2009 MBP 15in running Leopard. The only thought is that it is wirelessly connected to the internet but with speeds around 10Mbits so that shouldn't be a problem. Any ideas?

Could be a firewall problem:

Thanks for the reply, I'm sorry I searched and didn't find that thread. I will have him try and post the results. Could this be something wrong with the MBP? Or is it more likely (as the post above suggests) that it is simply a firewall or software issue? Thanks

To be quite honest, I really don't know what the problem is. All I can hope for is that the links solve the problem.

Thats ok, I appreciate the help anyway. If i figure it out, i'll post the solution as it seems like that other thread was unsolved as well.
