Historical Document

These pages have sat here since 2008 with no update. In that time the AIM servers have been closed down (2017) and iChat has been superseded by Messages. That effectively make this a sort of Historical Document of how it worked.

I will make attempts to renew and refresh Links to either the most current site or use the Way Back Machine Archive so that people can at least look at what was used. I will make Edit Notes on this and on those where I can find no link to replace the older one as I go through the document.

3 iChat Ports Firewall - Select TAB

02-10-2006

Big clue time.

As you will see, the screen will change to the one that controls the Firewall.

The list in the box looks the same but from the Edit button you can review which ports those services have open. From the picture you can see the list is longer by the presence of a Scroll button.

Depending what you may have set up for iChat in the past you will use the Edit or New Button next. By default only an entry for iChat Rendezvous or iChat Bonjour will be in the list (Currently out of sight) and which will depend on your OS version as at Tiger Rendezvous changed it's name to Bonjour.

Next:- New or Edit

About This Page

Picture with big arrow on it. Need I say more ?

Well, I have in the main text.

Compatibility

Much of this page has been altered to be as HTML 5 compatible as possible. This may cause issues with any of the Browser below.

I have tested in Safari 18.1, Firefox 130.x and 131.0, Vivaldi 6.9.3447.48 and iCab 6.2.3 (All Mac Browsers) I don't have access to a PC let alone multiple browsers to test on.

Previously confirmed to work with Win/IE 5.5 and later (should work in 5.0, but not confirmed), Firefox 2, Safari 3, Opera 9, iCab 3.02 and later, Mac/IE 5, Netscape 6 and later

Old browsers (IE version 4 or earlier, Netscape 4 or earlier) may only see a text-based page which, while not the prettiest option, is still entirely usable.
