Anyone have a step by step bandwidth solution?

I am one of the many ichat users with tiger OS bandwidth issues. I am a dedicated mac user, have done tech support professionally for both pc and macs, and even written copious amounts of documentation on computer issues but I am NOT a network expert.
This bandwidth issue is an ongoing nightmare. I've looked for hours at various chats and message boards but cannot find a single message that does not already assume the poster knows everything they need to know to work on solving the problem.
Can anyone help me find or create for me a help/support page with full instructions and hopefully screen shots to help me configure my router, tcp/udp etc. etc., whatever is needed to make my $300 investment in isight cameras useful? My preference would be something with a sequential solution start here and end here type thing? Currently I have lovely jewelry for the top of my mac screen!
Here are potentially helpful details:
I have a 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 w a D-link router with updated firmware and an isight camera. I am trying to use ichat3.1(v417) for video conferencing. I am consistently getting a bandwidth error when trying to chat w/ my family. It has never worked. I have tried turning off my firewall completely but have no clear instructions on configuring the ports to work if I turn it on. I've seen references to instructions by apple on this but have not found the page yet. Can anyone help or direct me to clear help? Thanks!!!

Hi,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion PAges.
This site can help with what pages look like
http://portforward.com/routers.htm
This has the ports and why they are used
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page3.html
And a note to say the Apple Doc is wrong.
This Blog has the ports in a table at Sept 7th

If your Connection device has it use UPnP as it will allow multiple computers and be an On/Off setting.
The first link will help in some cases spot the menu item for UPnP.
At worst it can be used for setting up Port Forwarding.
Be aware that it uses the Apple Doc 93208 for reference and transfers the error to some of the settings.
Ports 16384-16403 are not TCP but UDP only
Also look at this FAQ for other factors and settings
