Topic: iChat/AIM

[Costantino]

Hi,
I'm trying to get iChat/AIM to work for hosts on the internal LAN, I've tried to pass the listed ports to a single host, but I'm not having any success.
I have two questions:
1) Has anyone out there been able to get iChat/AIM/MSN Messenger
to work properly through the firewall (including video) and if so how?
2) How do you forward ports to ALL local hosts, not just a single IP

According to Apple the following ports are needed for iChat
TCP     5297-5298
TCP    5190
UDP    16384-16403
UDP    5298
UDP    5060

Any help is greatly appreciated
Mike

Yep, we have the same problem, tried opening as many ports as possible.
You don't say if they are all iChat or AIM, plus are they using .Mac account names or AIM accounts.

We have found that externally we can do text based connections no problem.
The green phone icon is active, but when we send a call, the following error occurs. 1) sender ( .mac ) requests phone connection. 2) rcvr gets auth box onscreen. 3) rcvr accepts link 4) time out occurs.

Error seen - some ips masked

myreception@mac.com did not respond
Tried to send UDP SIP "invite" to the following IP addresses and ports
150.101.224.xxx:63043 192.168.x.25:5060

we have tried port forwarding 5060 on both TCP & UDP with no difference
to the result. Test with PPPoE Router on one end had same result.

From what I can see 1024-65536 should be open.
