cannot share my screen

In iChat v5.0.3 on OS 10.6.8, I can share other people's screens but I cannot share my screen with anyone. Any thoughts on this?

MacBook Pro, iChat

HI,


By default you should be able to Offer your Screen even if you have not set Screen Sharing On.

This works on the basis the firewall stops incoming stuff but not outgoing stuff.


It does seem to work better and more consistently if it is Turned On in the Video Menu > Screen Sharing (Toggle with a Tick of On)


Have you tried Toggling it Off then On again ?
