iChat error -8 message

My dad and I both just switched from PC's to Mac's this past week. While I instantly fell in love with my iMac, the iChat is making me want to throw it on the ground and stomp on it!

We have been trying to connect with iChat video and keep getting the error -8 message. While I consider both my dad and myself very computer literate, the technical stuff is a little foreign to us. I spent the better part of last night checking out this forum and read a lot of messages that I frankly don't understand at all. I'm hoping someone can reply in layman terms, as best as they can.

I'm at work so I don't have the error log to post. But a little bit of information. I have iMac, dad has MacBook. We both are online via wireless routers. Both using high speed cable. He's using Cox in Arizona, I'm using Comcast in California. I believe we both are using Netgear for our wireless router. In doing research, I'm thinking that maybe the ports on the router need to be opened (yes, I think I've figured out what a port is.) We both tried last night turning firewall on, then turning firewall back off. Didn't work. We both updated our Quicktime settings. Didn't work. We both changed our network setting to only the ones we were actively using (Bluetooth and Airport). Didn't work. We both are getting the same error on each side.

My dad thought maybe it had something to do with me using an AIM account for video chat versus him using a .mac account. That's another thing that's confusing to me. Some posters say AIM is not video capable, but then people reply and say that they use it. The AIM.com site isn't clear, but something I read on the Apple website said AIM version for Mac's is video capable.

Sorry I don't have error logs. If someone can tell me that maybe I'm heading in the right direction with the Netgear routers, then I'll check it out tonight.

Thanks for the help. The knowledge you guys have is amazing.

MadeezMom,

I think you are on the right track. A useful and helpful resource is portforward.com. Go there and click on portforwarding. Select your router in the given list, also choose iChat as the service you want to configure and it will guide you step by step on how to open those ports within the router.

As far as I know, AIM screen names do work for video within iChat. Downloading their AIM software will do no good for video chatting the way I remember it. Theirs was meant only for texting.

The mac firewall is probably not relevent since your router is acting as the main firewall between your broadband connection and your computer. If a router was not in the configuration, a firewall running on the OS would be helpful and there is a link in this forum to a site that guides on configuring your firewall to open ports needed in iChat. Running the mac firewall and using a router for security is redundant in my situation.

Another thing to consider is not using the router as a DHCP server. At portforward.com they will also guide on the method of assigning "static IP's"

I hope this is a good start for you and will give you some reasonable success to start with.

Let us know,

Martin J. Estrada

Please let me knw what you guys think. I'd like a little feedback on the possible fixed before I just start forwarding ports and doing other stuff I don't really know how to do.

Thanks.


iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Mar 27, 2007 6:44 PM in response to MaddeezMom

Here is a synopsis of the website information and other instructions from gurus like DefCom and Ralph in this forum...

-----

The "error -8" solution is highly configuration dependent on all users of the video iChatAV application.

1. In iChat preferences, make sure your Video -> bandwidth limit is set to "none". Also, reset your iChatAV/Preferences/Account/Server Settings port to 443 rather than 5190.

2. In iChat menu bar, Video -> Connection Doctor make sure that you do not have any error messages listed in the Show -> error log pull-down menu. If you do, then restart iChat to clear them. Also, in System Preferences -> Quicktime -> Streaming tab be sure that the Streaming Speed is set to "1.5Mbps T1/Intranet/LAN" or below. Restart iChatAV and test it.


3. If you are using a cable or DSL modem with a router then either "turn-on" UPnP in the router OR open ports in your router; but not both. UPnP is universal Plug and Play and automatically opens the ports necessary for applications to run properly.

4. If you do elect to open ports on your router or your Mac then open these ports.

iChatAV ports:

5060 UDP
5190 Both, TCP and UDP
5220 TCP
5222 TCP
5297 UDP
5298 Both, TCP and UDP
5353 UDP
5678 UDP
16384-16403 UDP

All iChat AV traffic is UDP except for ports 5190 and 5298, which need to be open for both TCP and UDP; and 5220 and 5222, which need to be open for TCP only. DO NOT "turn-on" your Mac firewall while using a router firewall.

5. Reset the AOL Instant Messenger port to 443. It may say 5190. You will have to be logged-out of AIM to change the port.

6. After you do all this, then shut-down everything (Modem, router, and Mac), then restart everything in sequence beginning with your modem (wait for it to come up), then the router (wait for it to come up), and then the Mac. If you use Vonage or another VoIP telephone service you must keep the VoIP phone adapter "off" until the modem/router/Mac has rebooted, then turn on AIM, then turn-on the VoIP phone adapter.

7. Start iChatAV.

Note:
- Check with you broadband provider and ask if they are blocking any of the ports you want to use. I've heard some foreign telephone companies blocking ports to protect their infrastruicture, and the installed base of customers.
- You can "test" iChatAV by including appleu3test01 or appleu3test02 or appleu3test03 screenames in your AIM Buddy list.
- If you recently did an incremental update to 10.4.8 you should try doing the 10.4.8 "Combo" update instead. This installs a completely fresh OS X which may have any missing OS Xparts in the incremental update.

Hi

In the last three repeats the Ports change

m=audio 33670 RTP/AVP 12 3 0
a=rtpmap:3 GSM/8000
a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
a=rtpID:-529851413
m=video 33678 RTP/AVP 126 34
a=rtpmap:126 X-H264/90000
a=rtpmap:34 H263/90000
a=fmtp:34 imagesize 1 rules 30:352:288
a=framerate:20
a=RTCP:AUDIO 33666 VIDEO 33674


This suggests two connection devices at one end both doing NAT (most likely with Port Forwarding)

Okay. I see that. Now, since that was my error log, does that mean it's my computer?

I logged into my router last night. UPnP is enabled, so I left it alone. I changed the AIM ports to 443 as suggested. I have not gone in and forwarded any ports. Can you explain NAT a little bit to me?

BTW, my dad was able to connect with Tony this morning.
