You are probably using a router or a gateway acting as firewall.
So you have to configure the NAT feature on that device.
ports you have to NAT toward your computer are listed to this page

Cant send files

when on ichat i cant share or send files to others why?

Hello L A R E !
Sending files without zipping them first works for me.
What methods are you trying? There are several ways to send a file. In my testing with other iChat users, the most common technique to try first seems to be to drop a file into the text entry line in an iChat IM (text) window and then pressing the <<i>return> key. Occasionally that method fails.
When the text entry line method fails, try the methods recommended in your Mac's iChat > Help. I find that when dragging to the text input line fails, usually using the iChat > Buddies > Send File... method will not work either, but it does no harm to try.
When the menu command method fails, if you have an open video or audio chat window with the buddy to whom you want to send the file, you can drag the file and drop it in the open video or audio window. Note that iChat pauses AV transmission during file transfer to make the process faster.
Alternatively, try dragging the file and dropping it on the name in your Buddy List of the chat buddy to whom you want to send the file.

Also consider that the problem may be at the receiving end of the file transfer. Does the problem occur with everyone, or only with a few of your buddies. If file transfer fails only with some of your contacts, ask them to be certain that they are clicking on the files to receive them. If those few buddies receive no indication that you are attempting to transfer files, ask them if they can receive files from anybody. Perhaps the problem lies within their systems.
<hr width="85%">
If none of those suggestions help you, consider possible issues within your system. Your system info shows that you are still using 10.4.7. Consider applying the 10.4.9 Combo Updater using the following method:- Backup your Home Folder, or at least, your important files.
- Repair permissions.
- Then download and apply the appropriate combo updater for your Mac:
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update (iNtel) or
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update (PPC)
- Finish with another Permissions Repair, and then try sending a file again.Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates.
<hr width="85%">
If your Mac checks out, your internet connection may be causing problems.
Do you have anything other than your computer (for example, VOIP, game, etc., that use the internet) connected to your internet connection? If so, disconnect everything except your compute, and try sending a file again. If it works with everything disconnected, you can try connecting one device at a time to test for which device is the source of your problem.
Alternatively, I note from your system info that you have two Macs. Do you use a router to create a LAN at your location? If you cannot transfer files from either Mac, your router may be the problem. Disconnect your router, connect your Mac directly to your modem via ethernet cable, and try again.
If your problem goes away whenever the router is disconnected, add the router back and test again. Try this test two or three times. If the problem returns every time the router is connected, your router is causing the problem. If you have another router (or can borrow one) you can test whether any router will work with your system.
<hr width="85%">
If the above suggestions do not resolve your problem, post back all available details about your system, internet connection, and testing results. We will try to offer more specific suggestions based on your response.

Cant send files/ pictures

I just started college, and now i cant usually send files or pictures through ichat. Occasionally it will let me send something but it will go extremely slow, or get an error. i can recieve files fine. any ideas?

Hi WOGE,
At first glance I would have asked if you have the 5190 port open to both UDP and TCP protocols. But this would have made more problems for incoming files.
My second thought was that the College may have some Virus checking software on their connecting server. But again I would have thought this would have effected incoming stuff more.
This make me wonder about full caches.
I would run a Utility to runthe Cron scripts and clear caches as list in the <a href="http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?50@@.6890d19d"Routine Maintenance Tasks</a> of this FAQ (MacJanitor or Cocktail or Using Terminal to Force them to run)

Cant send files from NOKIA 7230 to PC using blueto...

Hello, I purchased a bluetooth dongle and connected it to my PC. I paired my PC and nokia 7230. I am able to send files from PC to nokia 7230 successfully. But when I try to send from nokia 7230 to PC i get service not supported. I am using windows 7. Any help please?

when u plug in your phone to your computer, on your phone select data transfer. If an error message apears on your phone saying its unable to connect, restart your phone and plug it in again. after selecting data transfer, your phone's memory should appear as a flash drive on your computer. select images for your pictures. the pictures are in folders arranged in date order. for videos go to the videos folder. the videos are in MP4 format.

Cant send file with outlook in preview

Hello,
I'm a new Mac user and must say very happy with my change.
However I have one problem I can't seem to solve.
My work forces me to use Microsoft Outlook on my Mac.
But I can't seem to figure out how to send files from the preview program.
When selecting "send e-mail" in preview. It always opens the Mail program, even though I set Outlook as the standard mailing program.
Anyone has an idea on how to fix this?
Thank You!

Hi Sig,
I also used your advice to add outlook to convert to pdf...Thanks
I now sit with the problem that when I click on the Outlook tab, it opens up the window in the background of my desktop, and I have to "minimise panels" in order to get to it? Any advice, on how to just get the window to pop up when clicking on Outlook PDF?
Hpe this makes sense?
Cheers

Razr v3c, os 10.4.6, address book syncs...cant send files or browse

hi,
i've done everything! i can sync my address book with my Verizon V3c with my macbook pro running os 10.4.6...
BUT how do i browse my device or at least send a file...it says "Device does not have the necessary services."

Does anyone have a solution for converting Palm Contacts? I'm happy to buy software to make this happen. I have 2500+ contacts and use many of the fields (and would like to keep them). I am on a mac and use a droid phone (Samsung Intercept). Sprint says that they can convert the contacts, but that they will then only be on my phone. I need to be able to update on my computer and have that sync with my phone.
thank you!

Cant send files fron i mac

Trying to send a file from imac to macbook keep getting massage on macbook to check setting, all settings or as they should be on both machines , but i can send from macbook to imac no prob.
But if i make a new user on the imac and send the same file it will send no prob.
Anybody ant thoughts....

You can't send folders by Bluetooth. Just files.
Also, older Pages files are a special type of folder called a package (right-click on the icon and choose *Show Package Contents* to see what's inside). So you can't send those by Bluetooth without zipping them, or if you're using the latest version of Pages, make sure the "Save new documents as packages" option is unchecked in Preferences > General.

Why I cant use the MSN messenger in my mac?

I just downloaded the newest version about MSN messenger 5.0. But I cant sign in my msn messenger. I try many times,but it always popup one window says:"Sign in to Microsoft Messenger failed because the service is not available or you ma not be connected to he internet."My internet connection is no problem i think, because I use one windows system, the MSN messenger works. How to solve this problem, I need you help. cheers.

I take it you mean the latest Microsoft Messenger, which is version 5 and a step up from the previous MSN Messenger 4.
Are you signing in with a Hotmail.com address, or do you have an alternate company address (ie: Mac.com, etc)? If so, you need to register this address with the Microsoft Net Passport system to allow your "third party" email address to access the MSN system. Hotmail addresses are allowed access by default.

Have you reset the password recently for the email account?
A real simple fix usually is to delete the mail account (settings < mail contacts calendars, tap the affected account and choose delete at the bottom) Then re add the account.

My Creative Cam wont work properly in MSN Messenger! I cant get the effects to work PLEASE HELP!

When I open the webcam centre everything works fine I can get all the effects...BUT when I open messenger (MSN) I get a good picture but when I open the effects window I cant get the effects to work in there.... I went to the creative site which tells me I can use this cam ok in MSN Messenger....Please help before I pull my hair outThankyouBillie-Jean x

I had the exact same issue but finally after much reading found that the Advanced Video FX utility must be activated first, then open the Web Cam Center.
On the upper left side just above your image is a Device Selection box. You may not redily recognize it as such.. Click on the down arrow just to the left of the Format tab and select the "Creative WebCam(With Video Effects)". Now try the effects. This did the trick for me. Hope it works for you!
