Ok, so i have a new iMac and an older iMac......both with the newest version of the iChat beta.....and the voice chat keeps coming back with "_____did not respond". Like it's timing out or something. Any guesses?

Is your G3 iMac less than 600 MHz? I think iChat AV only works with 600 MHz G3 and up.

Cheers,

Alex
Have a nice day!

That requirement is only for video. For audio, any G3 will work.

Well i went into the preferences on the old mac.........just to check everything out....and it looked like everything was ok. Went home and tried it out the next day......and everything was fine. Cool.

Just to throw this in, iChat AV works fine with my original 233mhz iMac. I was quite impressed! ..over a 40k connection at that..
