Dear Sirs,
I have recently purchased a Macally Icecam2 from an Apple reseller store which after installing extra drivers (found as online downloads) and iUSBwebcam (also a download) I can now view a picture of myself on ichat on my G3 mac (now running TIGER 10.4.11), however when I try to link to my father's computer it rings but we get a connection failure message.
We are able to send text messages back and forward to one another but have not managed to get an audio chat to work either.
I have however ,managed to get an audio chat to work with a friend of mines G4 mac when I was at his house, however this will have been getting a signal from the same router. This was using his .mac account but we were unable to try a webcam test as he does not have a webcam!
When trying to link to my fathers computer we are trying to connect via AIM since it seems that on a G3 mac Gmail is not available. It is worth mentioning that my father can successfully link to my sisters webcam via gmail - both of them have a computer of the same spec listed here :
iMac 20/2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo/1GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM/ 250GB Serial
ATA drive/BT/AP/WLKBM part number MA759B/A serial number CK71402XY3U running Mac OSX 10.5.6 LEOPARD.
Could it be that the set-up at my end is incorrect stopping the process from working since I was assured that the webcam I bought should work with my computer?
Many thanks,
Gareth
