Would someone be prepared to video chat with me just the once so I can test whether I can do this succesfully using iChat 2.1 on my computer?

I am having difficulty setting up a video link with a colleague in Canada. We can't work out whether the problem is with my computer or his iMac.

I think I may have a problem with port access, but I am not sure.

Thanks Bob. No problems this side of the pond!

I'll get my compatriot in Toronto to check his router and ports.
 
The following ports need to be open for iChat to work correctly:

Single port - 5060 UDP
Single port - 5190 TCP
Port Range - 13403-16384 UDP

You can check if the ports are open by adding the port number to this URL after the equal sign:

Hope this helps
