How do you know it is "firewall reason"?

Chances are that OS X's internal firewall software is enabled. You'll have to go to the system preferences to disable it or change the firewall settings for iChat.

Try opening up some ports, maybe it'll work. Or it could be the PC user that has the firewall enabled, not you.

In order to solve this you need to tell us what the error message is. Even better would be to post a screenshot so we can see the error message. I can tell you this, if it is poping up on the PC, the chances are high the problem is on the PC.

Go to System Preference then click on QuickTime then click "Streaming" tab then change the speed to Intranet/LAN setting instead of Automatic.

Then that error will go away and two way video chatting will work.


Let me know if it does... cheers!
