Post subject: iChat AV is inconsistent in accepting audio and video calls

I have an ongoing problem with my iSight and iChat (3.0.1) where I will
be able to video connect with certain people, but not with others who
also have the same setup as I do.

I frequently get the response "[My/their user] does not respond]" even
though clearly me and my recipient are telling each other that we are
accepting each other's calls. Also, this system error response is an
inadequate way for me to diagnose what might be the possible error.

Lastly, I am unable to perform a simple audio chat with other users who
I normally have video chats with. I am confused as to why I would be
able to perform one but not the other. The system error response is
"[User] did not respond", which again is not a very adqueate diagnosis
of the problem.

Does anyone have any clues or tips around this?

Thanks.

Hi Marc,
I found some data on the net that the ini files (yes, my speedtouch 510
uses these, and I'm using a Mac attached to it!) from your provider are
hogging some ports needed for proper ichat traffic. The ini file could
do without the lines in which the ports are declared, which
should/could solve your problem.
