Hi, yesterday i bought two iSight's (one for my girlfriend and one for me) since i'm living to spain we wanted to be in contact. So last night, trying to start a video conference we had some problems.
1rst) Both isights are recognized perfectly by our powerbooks (i got an Aluminium pbook 15" rev c, and she has an aluminiumpbook 12" rev c). When we go online using iChat, i can see myself and hear myself (with my own isight) and so does she. This means our isight's work perfectly.
So what happens?, well when i send her the invitation to accept a video chat, she even get's the invitation and accepts it, the little box says "Waiting for acceptance" or something like that, and then it even says "starting video conference" but after a few sec. (15 seconds or so) it says " Joey didn't respond" or "Angel didn't respond" and then it disconnects ichat, and i have to start ichat again.
so i'm guessing this is a Firewall problem, or a security problem.
This thing happened to me with a friend the other day, but not with video conference, it happened us trying to start an audio conference using ouw internal mics. It said that neither of us responded, when we actually DID accept the chat. (same as isight problem).
The interesting thing is that i couldn't connect with my friend to audio chat, but i was able to connect and audio chat with someone else later that day. so i don't know what's wrong.
any ideas????....i believe it's something that has got to do with firewall (my internet provider or maybe the computer.) but i'm living in a week to spain and i need to set this isight thing with my girl now that i'm here so she doesnt' have much trouble.
thanks for the help guys (sorry for the long post)
