Video Conference - Mac and PC

|

After a few hours of troubleshooting, I managed to get my iSight using iChat AV working nicely with my brother's Logitech camera using AIM 5.9 on XP. I opened the following ports on the Mac firewall-- 5060, 5190, 5297 and 5298. [Screenshot]

I then configured the following on the Linksys router firewall. [Screenshot] I did not enable UPnP on the firewall.

My brother installed the latest build of AIM, which is 5.9. He uses the XP SP2 firewall. He does not have a router.

We immediately established a video connection. He could hear me, but I could not hear him. The fix was to install this component from AIM. After he installed that, we had video and audio working. His frame rate was incredibly choppy. I think I was only pulling about a frame a second. The audio was satisfactory. My video on his end was in a tiny window that you cannot resize.

Vowe.net has some good information on this topic.

I think we will give Trillian a shot, to see if it works better than the AIM client.
