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.
Thanks in advance for any tips you can provide. BTW I've read
Apple's pages on port forwarding too...
Or you could do it the easy way...
Step 1
Make sure you have the latest firmware (2.2.16) "http://
www.billion.com.au/support/bipac5100.php" installed on the router.
2.2.16 specifically fixes a problem with Universal Plug and Play.
Step 2
Make sure UPnP is enabled on the router.
(NOTE TO EVERYEONE: If you have a decent router that properly
supports UPnP, YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT PORT FORWARDING!.
That's what UPnP is for.)
Step 3
There is no step 3.
Oh yes there is. Been there, done that :-) Nice try though.
However I can happily say my Draytek router works fine, out of the
box, and without enabling UPnP either...
Good chance it might be like the Dlink I had. Everytime I would try
audio chat, the router would crash. I have swapped to a Netgear and
have no trouble with audio chat. Any chance you have another router
or modem to try?

Rod!
