IChat claim i did not respond when I try to run a Video chat. Resolution?

Question

I am using a Macbook 2.16 White with OS X 10.4.9
Whenever i try to open a video chat with a friend using iChat 3.1.8, the dialog box says "starting connection" and then "connection failed because you were not accept connection" or something similar to that.
Now, i have seen other posts about routers and such, but I am kind of new to this wireless business and configuring those things. Please give me simple instructions if any. I am using netgear router, but i do remember using video chat with the router once before. However, since then, video chat has never worked with the above mentioned symptoms.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jerrin89,
It is possible (for the unscrupulous) to trawl these pages for email addresses (even out of date trial accounts like Defcom's)
It becomes common practice to write emails in the form of
somebodyatsomeemailserver.com
or as Defcom has done leave out the distinguishing @ sign at let people fill it in.
However with adding account/Screen names to iChat you don't need to add the @mac.com bit as iChat does it for you so it becomes easier to write it the way Defcom does, saying which account type it should be added under.
