So here's the problem:
I am using ichat AV 2.1 and I have been able to successfuly video chat with a friend who is using windows xp and the latest version of AIM.
But about three weeks ago our connections were rejected out of the blue.
They either said that she rejected the video request (which she didn't)
or that it was an "Unknown Error". I tried to connect to one other person and got the same results. This has never happened before and I hadn't reconfigured anything prior to this behavior.
I have not touched the settings I made for the my Linksys router (I use DSL) and she swears she didn't touch anything AND she can video chat to other AIMers.
I know a little about the Firewalls and the Ports, so please talk to me like a 3rd grader when explaining them to me.
I would like it if someone could help me with these two questions:
1) What gives? Why has ichat av now begun to refuse requests?
2) Without copying and pasting the Apple solutions ichat port configuration web page, could someone tell me how I should be going about setting up a Linksys router to Foward the needed ports
How have other people configured their routers? (sneaky 3rd question)
Here's the specs
g4 733 mhz
OS 10.3.5 (started to funk up prior to .5 upgrade)
1.25mb memory
Ichat AV 2.1
Ibot firewire webcam
Linksys Router
DSL connection
