[X4U] Failed to start Video Chat because: [I] did not respond

[Michael Elliott]

Hi Aron,
Are you positive that there's no firewall on the router?  Are you  
able to check your router settings to confirm that the appropriate  
ports are open?  I ran into this one a lot until I realized that I  
had to specifically forward certain ports over to my iMac with Port  
Forwarding.

There is a great troubleshooting website for iChat AV (especially as  
regards connecting to Windows XP AIM users) at

http://www.mvldesign.com/video_conference_tutorial.html#fw

and Apple has a list of required ports available at:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93208

Feel free to fire up iChat and text me at mikee60369 (AIM/AOL,  
not .Mac and not my michaelelliott at dotmac address...I don't  
connect to iChat AV with this account) if you like.

Michael
