i just got an isight and am trying to get it working but i can't seem to get past my router. I have the dmz set to my IP, and tried openig 2 UDP ports I was told i needed to online but I still tim out. I have a belkin 802.11b wireless router, my mac is on a hard line. Any one else have this router and figure it out? or any one have any ideas thanks!

I am experiencing similar problems too, and I am on a Linksys WRT54G router ...

I've also discovered that sometimes the problem is with the person receiving the connection (when doing one-way chat) - because my iSight has been working with some people and not others.

I'm no expert, but maybe get the person you are trying to chat with to fiddle with their DMZ settings as well?
