	I'm trying to set up webcams with my partner, who is in Italy. I'm concerned about firewall/router problems, because she and I currently cannot get an audio chat going (and it appears to be a NAT configuration problem on her end): http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93208 Is it hopeless to try and get video through iChat? And SO....... is there a software alternative that wouldn't pose the same firewall issues? (for example, Skype works great for audio chat because it uses p2p instead of whatever ports iChat requires that are blocked.) Thanks for your help.
