Hello,
I've got another question - for those using Mac OS X 10.4.11 and iChat 3.1.9. Are there any special settings that need to be configured in Sharing >> Firewall preferences when using iChat? I video chat with my Mom quite often and she uses an iMac G5/2GHz running Mac OS X 10.4.11 and we have her firewall turned on in Sharing >> Firewall preferences but nothing at all is checked in the Firewall preferences and nothing has been specially configured. Her connection seems to work just fine as-is but I figured I'd better check just in case since I will be seeing her tomorrow and am going to do some updating and backing up on her computer.
Seems to me that the built-in Mac OS X 10.4.11 Firewall is pretty much self-configured for using iChat already. I'm just not sure if I have to add any 'New' or 'Advanced' settings in order for her iChat to work optimally.
Thanks so much,
Gerard

Unlike the firewall settings in Windows, the built-in firewall for Mac OS X is not enabled by default. If you’ve recently purchased a new Mac computer, then you will have to go in and turn on the firewall manually if you want that protection. Regardless, enabling the firewall is a good measure to take just in case. To open this pane on your Mac, choose Apple menu System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, then click Firewall. If the firewall is turned off, click Turn On Firewall to turn on firewall protection. Click the Firewall Options button to change firewall settings. OS X has a built-in firewall. Here's how to use it. Fire up your Mac's firewall Worried about your networked Mac? Protect yourself with OS X's built-in firewall. Apr 07, 2016 If you use a Mac, chances are you might not even realize that OS X comes with a firewall. This firewall helps ensure unauthorized app and services can’t contact your computer, and prevents intruders from sniffing out your Mac on a network.
