Getting disconnected

Question

I keep getting disconnected on iChat AV with this Error :
2006-01-18 16:50:45 +0100: No data has been received for the last 10 seconds.
Audio channel info: local machine using 80.121.52.13:16386, expecting remote machine to send to 80.121.52.13:16386
Video channel info: local machine using 80.121.52.13:16384, expecting remote machine to send to 80.121.52.13:16384
I am video chatting with 4 Mac users and only with one of them I have this problem. He tells me it's the same for him : he has no problem with the other 3 but with me.
Would appreciate some insight.

Hi OVozeh,
You should check the connection speed at both ends
http://www.auditmypc.com/internet-speed-test.asp
Ask if they have added a router to their connection.
Get then to post their Error message as the ports are right at your end. (And your modem is set to Bridge mode)
Before the !0 sec error do you get any Bitrate or Frame Rate info before the connection is lost ?
Check at both ends that System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab is set to match the download speeds.
Check in iChat > preferences > Video section > Bandwidth Limit drop down is set to NONE.
Check what applications they have open that use the internet. Downloads will effect this.
This is most lilely one of these things.
1a) Their Connection is not fast enough
b) or is capped in Quicktime or iChat.
c) Or they are losing out to other Apps.
2) They have added a router and it is not routing as iChat wants.
