TICKET ARCHIVE -> Ichat Av - Firewall Settings

Hi,

which ports do I really have to open for tcp and udp to make iChat AV work, using the built-in firewall.
(sorry for asking this again, but I found many different answers to this on the forums).

Thanks,
Jan

Hi Jan,

Here's a list of ALL portsnumbers (TCP and UDP) used by iChat/iChat AV:

Starting with the TCP portnumbers:

5190 - iChat/AOL File Transfer
5222 - iChat/AOL Jabber Messaging
5297 - iChat via Bonjour (formerly Rendezvous)
5298 - iChat via Bonjour (formerly Rendezvous)

And now the UDP portnumber:

5060 - iChat Session Initialization Protocol (SIP)
5190 - iChat/AOL/IM File transfer
5298 - iChat via Bonjour (formerly Rendezvous)

16384 - 16404 - iChat RTP/RTCP (for audio and video)

I hope this answers your question.
