Ichat AV

Why not disable it and see if it fixes your problem? It's useless for most
people anyway.

You guys should check out Apple's Discussions Forums. There a couple
of people there (Ralph Johns (UK) and defcon) that are very
knowledgeable on this subject. They apparently read every post and
are very helpful.

There are many issues that can cause a connection problem, and they
could be on both ends.

Do either of you have software firewalls?
What about hardware firewalls?
Routers or modems with built-in firewalls?

All need to allow iChat traffic.

Hi There

I have found it is caused by my firewall in the router. However, allowing
the ports to accept traffic hasn't fixed it...

The only way so far I have found to fix it is to add my computer into the
DMZ (;leaving it exposed)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Matthew
