Hi. I am in the university network and I can see a lot of people in the rendez vous iChat window and in the shared music in iTunes but I cannot connect to them (i.e. listen to their music or send them messages). Any ideas?

    Hm, perhaps try turning the firewall off if it is on (in sharing control panel)? And you have the latest versions of the two programs?



    Rendezvous just lets you find other people, it is a discovery protocol, the sending of program data (songs and chat) is done though other things, so technically Rendezvous is working just fine.

    The latest version of iTunes is a bit odd about sharing it's music compared to v4.0, I had a crossover cable directly connected to another mac which had the latest version and I had v4 running and it would not share it's music.

    Sometimes on my LAN this sort of thing happens if i've got Internet Sharing on, it's quite irratic and i've not been able to work out why or a fix yet (apart from stopping Internet Sharing). It's weird because I can see a person in iChat but when I type a message to them it won't go through.
