iChat NetGear on/off: -8 and abrupt disconnect
iChat worked flawlessly until NetGear was installed. I have worked with local techies and NetGear techies in India, and THOUGHT two problems (Error -8 and failure to connect with the immediate message that AIM was suddenly disconnected) were solved when I reverted NetGear to Factory Default Settings and then followed the steps to add the necessary iChat ports to chat with the Mac OS X Firewall active. iChat works great now ... sometimes. I never know when I click on it if I am going to have active iChat or abrupt disconnect or Error -8.
Anybody know why iChat is on/off in seeming random order?
Reverting to either port 443 or 5191 instead of 5190 has no effect at all. Those WERE my emergency fall backs when I could connect no other way. Now they don't work. It's either all or nothing! Suggestions?
