Whenever I call someone and they pickup their ichat freezes and when someone calls me I get no notification that they are calling me and I can't pickup.

HI,


Is you Mac Firewall ON ?

If so is it set to "Allow Signed Software' ?

Is iChat and IMAgent in the list of Allowed apps ?


Are the ports iChat uses for A/V Chats allowed through your router ?

Port 443 used by the Yahoo Account and the AiM account in iChat 6 is used by secure web sites (like logging in here) and mail sites and tends to be open/Allowed in your router by default.

Other ports like the A/V invite port (5678) and the actual A/V Chat (16393-16402 it uses one from this group) have to be opened specifically.


There are several methods you could use.

Use UPnP if you device has it.
