Dan, you're absolutely right. It's all due to the firewall in the router an not in the system. I'll try to find a pdf-manual whan I get home from work and mail that to you off list.
Thanks a lot Carsten ******************************************************* Carsten Ortmann / DR �stjylland/ Kultur 8739 7472 / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dr.dk/kulturnyt http://www.dr.dk/p1morgen -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] P� vegne af Dan Dixon Sendt: 17. marts 2004 00:52 Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emne: Re: OT: Routerfirewall and iChat I think Carsten's router's firewall is the culprit. He will need to forward the iChat AV ports through his router's firewall, which he tried but apparently didn't do correctly. Carsten, the router firewall may require that you use a static IP address on your computer to which the forwarded ports can be assigned. If your ISP uses DHCP, you will need to configure the router's firewall to connect to the internet with DHCP, then use manual IP settings (or DHCP with manual IP) on your computer, and then map the required ports to your computer's IP. I am not familiar with Trendnet firewalls or I'd be more specific. If you can send me a PDF manual or link offlist or something I could try to figure it out.
