iChat AV through firewalls

Though iChat group text chats work from inside the Sami parliament, audio and video group chats don't work. To make them work, their trafic has to go through a proxy. This document describes how to set this up on Mac OS X, using SquidMan.

1. Fetch SquidMan: http://homepage.mac.com/adg/SquidMan/index.html
2. Install SquidMan by dropping it into the Applications folder
3. Start SquidMan, and press Start in SquidMan window
4. Disconnect all active connections in iChat
5. Open Preferences in iChat (Command + ,)
6. Press the Accounts button, then your AIM/.Mac account name, then Server properties.
7. Activate Connect through proxy
8. Write 127.0.0.1 in the Server field
9. Write 8080 into the Port field
10. Activate http in the protocol field
11. Try connecting to the iChat server again, by setting your status to Available
