::: Cannot Video Chat Using IChat :::

My girl just bought a Macbook, I have a Macbook Pro. We're both using the same version of Ichat but we cannot connect. I'm on a netgear wireless router and shes using a linksys router. Why can't we seem to connect?

you have to have a .mac account www.mac.com or a (free) aim account www.aim.com

Welcome to Mac-Forums, NikeTalker23.

If you both use either AIM or .Mac accounts, maybe iChat FAQs might help. Among other things, it describes how to set up your router and lots more troubleshooting tips.

I just read the page with how to set up the router lol Im so confused. Talks about ports, protocols, servers. I dont know where to begin.

Nter 23, hahaha how long u been on NT? I been on there since 2000..

The video chat for iChat is either a hit or miss. Sometimes I can connect sometimes I cant. Its a bug that Mac needs to fix / address.

btw. I'm a NT'r too lol.

Well, if you are on the same local network, then enable Bonjour. It has worked for me every time in all kinds of networks (without any configuration)

before getting into ports and protocols etc.. just try both getting a brand new AIM or .Mac account - the AIM account is free.

try sigining in and talking.
