iChat AV through a firewall
Authored by: saint.duo on Jun 24, '03 12:43:08PM

Apple's docs claim that iChat AV will work through NAT routers. I have a LinkSys BEFSR41 4 port router, and it works fine without any port mapping. I did run into one problem. My machine is usually DMZ on my network (for services), and iChat video/audio would NOT work at that point, which I found strange.

iChat AV through a firewall

A bit off topic, but what about file transfer through Linksys router with NAT?

I have a friend (we both have Linksys routers) and we can't seem to get file transfer to work. We even tried making each machine a DMZ host in the Linksys setup.

Any tips?

I belive that file transfers require someone to be accessible via TCP from the internet, this probably requires manual port forwarding.
