Hi,

I am a tad confused and hoping to enlist some of MacRumors wonderful help. I used to be able to drag and drop a file (any file) into an iChat window and the person on the other end could accept the transfer and receive it. Every time I try this now I get the following message:

"iChat Can't Attach The File. The Chat Does Not Accept File Transfers"

I have looked up the issue on google and found instructions to change the server port to 443 instead of 1590. This did not work. I was able to change the port but it did not fix the problem. The other person has the same (updated) version of iChat.

I am using OS X 10.6.5 Snow Leopard on a brand new Macbook Pro i7

Any ideas what is going on here or how to fix it?

Thanks for your time.
