Yepps, usually the router is configured to block the ports or forward them in a specific way .... i don't know exactly what port iChat was using in my head - but this will be your problem .... I would either try to email the file, upload it to your webspace (if you have some) or well, there are some other things as well, but i don't think you want to run your own ftp server with just this one file transfer .... maybe you can ask your admin to open / forward the port that iChat uses to your machine ... good luck =) On Apr 21, 2004, at 3:00 AM, Sambouka wrote: > This post has nothing to do with Powerbooks, but since I own one, I > trust you guys can help me out here :). > > I am having a problem with my file transfer at work using iChat.
