I connect my pb to the internet through a network. the Main pc is running windows xp. i use Aim for the iChat, but the video and audio thingy at the botton are faded and can't use them!

even if my friend tried to open a voice conference it tells him that i can't use that option..



any idea?

    Sounds like the port is blocked on either your computer or on the XP. To Check yours go to System Preference/Sharing/firewall and make sure that iChat Bonjour is selected. The TCP ports are 5297 and 5298. So make sure those are not blocked on the XP.
