Hi,

Since the weekend I have notice that iChat was not connecting at all...so I decided to reset the router from my apt. and then it worked. But now every time I put my computer to sleep it wont connect until I reset the router or the cable modem....any ideas to solve this? It is really annoying.

Thanks.

EDIT: spelling

Does your router have a built-in firewall? If so, try enabling port forwarding. I'm not sure which ports iChat operates on though.

However, to me it looks more like a connection problem. You say that it also helps if you reset the modem, not only the router. Try disconnecting from the internet and connecting again for a change, maybe that'll work too.
