Richie- I had similar problems with my Linksys using iChatAV, and I found that I had to use a different router. I don't know how the Netgear works, but my MacSense router allowed me to open up a range of ports that was not specific to one IP address on my network(i.e. not just port forwarding). You could try putting the machine with the iSight on the DMZ, essentially bypassing the firewall and see if that works.
