So I was previously having trouble with my aim and mail, and could not change the settings on my airport extreme for some reason. Well i figured out the problems with mail and ichat, the ports they used are blocked. I have no idea how to figure out why they are blocked or how to unblock them without access to my aiport. Anyone have any suggestions?
 
Try connecting to the Airport over wired ethernet.

The IP firewall could be blocking traffic. Go to the terminal and type:

Code:
sudo ipfw list

If it returns anything other than what I've written below, you have ports being blocked.

Code:
65535 allow ip from any to any
