Each computer communicates directly with its neighbors. Other iChat users who are on the same network segment (”subnet”) as you appear in the window. If you connect to the Internet using PPP (or PPPoE), you won’t see other Bonjour users. If you connect via a shared network segment, which is common with cable modems, you may see other iChat users. If your computer is protected by a firewall, you might be unable to receive messages from other Bonjour users. To use Bonjour, you need to change your firewall settings to allow activity on port 5298."<br> <br> Regards,<br><font color="#888888"> --Gary<br> <br> </font></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Caroline Meeks<br>Solution Grove<br>Caroline@SolutionGrove.com<br><br>617-500-3488 - Office<br>505-213-3268 - Fax<br>
