Allow Rendezvous to work through Apple's Firewall
Authored by: sunnyd13 on Apr 09, '03 11:16:01AM

I have a small home network setup with my DSL plugged into a Linksys router, then an Airport coming out of one port and a desktop coming out of another. My laptop, that's serviced by the Airport, is not able to see the desktop in iChat. Since I don't have the Apple firewalls turned on on either machine, this port opening solution doesn't work.

Has anyone else experienced this problem with a combination wireless/wired network?

For Rendezvous to work, all machines must be on the same subnet. Your
airport should be set to bridge-mode and should not be doing NAT or
handing out DHCP addresses.

Yes, I have seen this problem. However, I can use printer sharing, which I thought required Rendezvous. I'm using NetBarrier X and have it set to log blocked TCP connections, but trying to use iChat in Rendezvous mode does not generate any log entries.

Here's my network topology:
Cable modem hooked up to the WAN port of an XSense Pro wired only). SMC Barricade Wireless configured as an access point, hooked up to the XSense through a LAN port on the Barricade
