Hi, does anyone have details of how to configure a Billion 5100 ADSL router to work with iChat AV?

I'm trying to chat with someone who has one of those routers. I know my configuration (of a different router) works here, so I believe the problem is at his end. Text chatting works fine.


OS X versions of both users and versions of iChat and have you checked requirements? As this can be cause of many problems and or things needed to be tweaked or installed.

If this pans out then:

Have you had video-conferencing operable with other users? If yes then get other end to try and initiate one with others and see if errors arise.

Have you checked logs on your machine to see if it has made a connection and what is error if not? If you are sending check logs on Billion to see if it is rejecting and what port? If it is rejecting relevant port, open relevant port within the router.

iChat is TCP-5190 I think and UDP 5060, 5190, 5678, 16384-16403 again? Logs should reveal these? Bonjour (Rendezvous) and Jabber have others also.

If it not rejecting Port, Is other end using a firewall on Mac (I assume it is a Mac) have particular ports been opened for iChatAV, usually it pops up a window to inform user of this.



Thanks in advance for any tips you can provide. BTW I've read Apple's pages on port forwarding too...
