Ichat only connects for a few seconds on Tiger but not on Leopard??

I have two laptops, a MBP with 10.4.11 and MB running 10.5.2..
When I am speaking with someone on video ichat on tiger, the connection only lasts for a couple of seconds then freezes and shows error messages like "No Data sent in last ten seconds" and Insufficient bandwidth" although my internet connection is fine, I have 6mb download and 450kb upload with a Netgear wireless Modem CG81..
On my MB with leopard, I can speak anyone else fine and don't get any error messages?
My MBP with tiger has been set in system prefs for the quicktime streaming speed as 1.5mbs?
What else can I do? Why is this happening?

Hi,
I could not see anywhere that I would clearly suggest was the equivalent place in any of those pics.
It may not have it.
It may be the other end.
But it is common with Netgears so I would search all the menus.
Also keep an eye out for anything that says about blocking or allowing Internet Pings
If you have a Later device or have upgraded the Firmware it may well have UPnP.
On most Netgears that have this it is ON by default.
If it is left on it will clash with the Port Forwarding.
As to setting the ports. Some devices set Protocols for the ports (UDP or TCP and sometime Both/Any) whilst doing Port Forwarding. (not all do)
Check that the ports that are used twice (5190 and 5298) are set to allow UDP and TCP as that is most likely what you came across.
In the Second Link they have "Both" showing in "iChat6" and this matches "iChat1"

  • MacBook Pro V 10.7.5 won't connect to the Internet. My other laptop works perfectly fine but and so is my iPad, but when I try to connect with the MacBook, it only connects for a few minutes or it does not connect at all. It's driving me nuts, help!

    My wifi only connects for a few minutes then goes away, I've been trying to look for solutions on the Internet but none of them work, help! It's really frustrating.

  • I cannot sync my iphone 4 to my imac it connects for a few seconds then goes off

    please can someone help me   When i connect my iphone 4 to my imac using bluetooth it pairs up but only lasts for a few seconds then goes off and shows
    not connected  i have tried all sorts of ways  but  without success  why is this happening am i the only one  does anyone know the answer please

    Seems like my problem - I have a new iPhone 4 and it does not want to pair with any device. It seems to connect, and is recognised by my MacBook pro, it shows the code that my Macbook shows, but then says it cannot connect. Neither did it connect to another imac, nor does it connect to my carphone. Have received a replacement (as I had bought the iPhone five days ago), have a new one now, but exactly the same problem. But I cannot alter the bluetooth settings on my iPhone, and restoring does nothing, nor leaving it in the completely unaltered setting, nor switching off all other wireless devices. Does anybody know how to solve this?

  • Video only plays for a few seconds, then freezes

    The video, which I got from the apple website, plays fine in iTunes but once I upload it to the iPod it will only play for a few seconds before freezing and becoming nonresponsive. Is this a software problem? Anyone know of a solution? Thanks.

    Or you can follow these instructions.... (adopted from btabz)
    Here are more detailed instructions on how to go back to 1.0, espescially if you bought your iPod in the last couple of months and it came with 1.1.
    First, please download the older version of the iPod Updater here...
    http://appldnld.m7z.net/content.info.apple.com/iPod/ww/win/061-2225.20051128.PDW nw/iPodSetup.exe
    Now install that updater and restart your computer.
    Now open the iPod updater (Start-->all programs-->iPod and find the iPod updater you just installed
    Open the iPod Updater and connect your iPod. With that older version of the iPod updater you just installed, restore your iPod by clicking restore.
    The iPod will restore and go back to software version 1.0. Now reload everything back into iTunes.
    If you don't want to restore, see this...

  • Why does my ipod classic (80gb) connect for a few seconds then disconnect?

    I have a ipod classic 80gb, granted its old, but it has a big memory so I can store my whole collection. Anyway, when I connect it to my PC (with windows 8.1) it will connect for a few seconds then disconnect. It will sometimes start to sync, but then disconnect after a few seconds. My computer is pretty new, Acer Aspire V5. I have tried reinstalling itunes, a new cable to connect it, different usb ports(2) and with and without the pc plugged into the mains, which is when it starts to sync for a brief second. Has anyone else had the same problem??

    The S.I. prefix Giga is used to mean both 1000x1000x1000 and 1024x1024x1024. Computer software typically uses the second version, but using the first number makes the same number of bytes appear bigger when expressed as Gb, so is favoured by hard drive manufactures.
    80Gb10 = 74.3Gb2
    It's a bit like specifying a quantity in gallons without saying whether they are US or Imperial gallons - everybody gets the same volume but one number will be bigger than the other. I could offer you a tank with 10 Imperial gallons of fuel in it - but if I tell you it's 12 US gallons it sounds like you're getting more for your money.
    Once the total size of your library exceeds the capacity of your device all you need to do is create some size limited playlists to determine what goes on the device. Don't sync all movies, sync one or two that you plan to watch soon. Likewise with TV Shows. Limit podcasts to unplayed episodes and finally create a music subset. What worked for me for some time was a smart playlist called Steve's Tunes defined as Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Exclude where Exclude was regular playlist that I would manually add to until Steve's Tunes was small enough to fit. These days I run an iPhone and have a number of smart playlists with ? Gb of most played, ? Gb of highly rated, ? Gb of recently added, ? Gb of essentials, ? Gb of unplayed etc. Each time I sync I get slightly updated selection without having to put any extra effort in.

  • Just submitted a podcast to i-tunes, when users are dowloaded it, images are only appering for a few seconds not the entire length of the relvant chapter.

    Built in garage band with artwork and chapters - saved as an podcast and set live to i-tunes (and checked in quicktime) but once downloaded images only appear for a few seconds.

    I subscribed to your podcast and downloaded episode 20 (in iTunes): it plays perfectly normally and the images appear as you would expect. I also dragged it out to the Desktop and opened it in the Quicktime Player and again everything was normal.
    The problem you do have is that you have not entered a duration for this and a few other episodes, so that the default 1 second is there. As a result when you play the episode in the Store page (as opposed to subscribing) it only plays the first second.
    As to the problem you describe, I can't explain it - there's nothing wrong with the file, so it must be a local issue with your iTunes.

    Ok I think it's a problem with my router. I went to my cousin's house and the Wi-Fi worked there perfectly. I was even able to download many apps. So I guess my router probably can't take in more connections. Oh well thanks anyway.
