Help! Linksys WRT54G config for iChat and iSight
I can't seem to make my iSight to work with iChat AV. Whenever I try to connect with my friend via iChat, I get a "username didn't respond" error. I am using a Linksys WRT54G wireless router and I know there is an issue on the port opening. Anyone here has the same setup? Can you please share the configuration/setting on the Linksys router particulary the port openings. I tried putting all the port openings suggested by iSight users here but still no go. I don't use firewall so I think there is no need to tweak the settings on the Mac. TIA.

It just occured to me, perhaps the person you are connecting to should also be configured properly (assuming that party is also behind a router). There could be no problem on your side, but on the person you're connecting to. It would make sense since iChat demands it on you, the person you're trying to connect to should be properly configured.

Thanks Kenneth. I tried connecting with dominiquejames and I believe his system is properly configured though he is also behind a router. He is using a brand that is listed by Apple as a supported device (DLink) meaning it will work right out of the box. Linskys migt need a little tweaking like port forwarding.
