Force iChat's multi-person bandwidth allowance
Authored by: yostinso on Apr 13, '06 07:36:29AM
If you're like me and live in the dangerous world of no firewall, you can probably also block iChat's test by editing your /etc/hosts file. You can do this from the terminal (using nano, for example), or your favorite editor. Just edit the line of the file that starts with 127.0.0.1 to read:
127.0.0.1             localhost snatmap.mac.com
This will make iChat try to connect to the computer it's running on at port 16384, where (most likely) nothing is already running, so it will fail.
