Specifically, this passage:

Port 5678 is not clearly documented as to it's use in the Apple Doc. It is in fact a server called "snatmap". This server does one job during Audio and Video chat invites. When you send an invite, this server does the negotiating between the two computers and tells them which ports are available for use. As soon as you click on the invite window to make a choice of Accepting, Blocking or Text chatting it immeadiately hands over to Port 5060.

Maybe completely blocking port 5678 would help with your problem?
