I have had some problems with iChat lately. Whenever I try to video chat with one of my buddies I always get a message saying that I did not respond ( screenshot below). I have the most bandwidth of any of my friends, and RAM but it doesn't work. What could be wrong?

If you have any other questions about iChat, here's a link to Ralph Johns' most excellent iChat help site. He helps out extensively on Apple's iChat forums, and his help site is truly awesome:

If it isn't your Firewall settings, what kind of router are you using and does it use UPnP?

If it does, try toggling UPnP off and on again, then connecting. Also, you might want to try using a different MTU setting. The Ralph Johns site has some recommendations on values to use.

This happens to me with my brother and toggling the UPnP solves it (Netgear D834G router). However, if I turn off or reboot my router, I have to toggle the option once more to get video chats working again. PITA.
