please please help!!!!

I've got macbook w/Tiger. My cousin just bought a brand new macbook, so I am assuming it's w/ Leopard.

She's able to ichat with all her friends with no problems, however when she sends me an invitation to video chat with her, I accept, the screen freezes for a second (I can see her, and she can see me), and then I get an error message saying "can not connect, invalid IP address".

I am assuming it's a problem w/me since she's able to connect with her other friends, but I can't figure it out! I know how to get my IP address (I am using a public connection) but once I have that, what do I do???

Does it have something to do with the wireless connection that I am using? She's using home wireless connection, however I am using public, so I have no clue how to even go about fixing that.

Ive googled, and yahooed this question for the past 30 minutes...seems like lots of other people are having issues too, but I was unable to come up with a solution!

THANKS!

  1. My guess is that the Admin of the public network you are using has blocked the site.  Either use your own network or try tunneling.


  2. can you use encrpytion so they can't block you.
