I'm having problems with Face Time, too. (MacBook Pro, early 2011)
When I get a call, I click on "Accept", and I don't connect. Often takes 3 or 4 tries tho get the call.
Worse, when I try to call back, I get ringing on my end, burt it doesn't ring on the on other end.
Any ideas?

I was having the same problem. I could connect fine to my iMac, but with my Mini with a camera attached it would just say connecting.
They were on the same network in my home, but the mini had different DNS settings than my iMac. I use a router, and have it pointed to Open DNS, so I changed the DNS settings on my mini to point to the Router, which is how my iMac was set.
You might start there.
Discovered that a reboot fixed the problem. I have no idea why since I'm a complete techno-boob.
Reboot - the solution to all problems!!

Is your Modem And Router A Single Unit?
These are often supplied by ISPs and the tend to be C******p if you have a separate router, you can disable the wifi side of the single ISP supplied kit, meaning you are only using it as a modem.
I won't go into too much more detail, but I use a Draytek router which handles Evrything. The modem is connected to the router, and that's it.
Can be a bit diddly to setup up but MUCH better than the all in one units!
