Ichat Error code -8

Hey, so before I start, I looked at other people error 8 questions and I tried what they did and it still doesn't work for me.

My friend and I want to cam chat on iChat but everytime we connect, I doesn't connect and there's an error code 8. But she can cam with others normally and so can I. Both our firewalls are off.

I'm using a G4 Mac running on version 10.4.11, Using a Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000 (With iUSBchat of course)

Plus My cam isn't being detected by Yahoo Messenger. All the Drivers are up to date.

I appreciate your help, thanks in advance.

*UPDATE* As of March 19th, I successfully cam chatted ONCE with another friend of mine (Both of us on iChat) but when I tried a second time, it didnt work. the error code 8 came up again.

Verify that both your routers are configured correctly with port forwarding/NAT/DMZ, this is communication error. Firewalls need to be configured correctly as well.
