Hi there,



I recently installed a wireless router in my home. However, it seems that I am now no longer able to webcam with any Windows machine through AOL.



Is there anything obviously wrong that I am doing? I am not so familiar with firewalls and networking. As far as I can tell, the Windows Logitech webcam is able to operate successfully otherwise.



Regards,

Nius.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but what's the relation to Macs here ?



    I have a Netgear Wireless G router, and can use an iSight with iChat just fine.

    Sorry. I should have specified that it was iBook / iSight.



    Thanks for getting back to me.
