Hello. I can not seem to get iChat to connect to the outside world. I am working with a Ativa wireless G router.
- Connection Doctor's Network Status:
Bandwith Limitation and Router Type: Full Cone -- both green
- Network: Status is "Wi-Fi Connected"
- I am using a yahoo account
- Yahoo Messenger does not seem to work either, so I don't think its an Application problem.
Suggestions? Thanks.
(v10.7.2)
Hi,
Have you allowed the ports iChat (or Yahoo ) uses through the Router ?
This is a Link to Port Forward.com
for the Ativa AWGR54.
This page will tell you the default User ID and Password to use in a web Browser to gain access.
It obviously tells you how to do Port FOrwarding.
Using UPnP if the device has it would be better. (The Site only shows you some screens/Pages and you may have to look further).
If this is your device then you may also ned to to turn Off Ping Blocking (Last Large pic menu item).
