Im using my 1ghz imac as a base station for my 500mhz ibook. Safari and software update work fine. But ichat does not work. I went to apples KB and all they say is that it works, can't find troubleshooting on it. Does anyone know why it shouldn't work?
Got a tip for us?

i guess so. where would you find that and set that up? Would i have to make a port for ichat through the firewall? Because thats the only place in system prefs that I see anything about ports.
The firewall on my imac was blocking it. I put in the ports for it and it works. Thanks for the idea.
You might also have problems with file transfer through iChat, since that action (as I recall) uses a different port than the one for the chatting itself. It gave me some trouble the first time I tried doing it.
