Can't get iSight with iChat to work on schools firewall

[MacEffects]

Hi, I have been looking and looking but can't get any answers to why my iSight won't work. I have come to the conclusion that it has to be the firewall here at my college. I keep getting the following: 2005-10-30 01:24:26 -0500: (Someone) did not respond.
Tried to send UDP SIP "invite" to the following IP addresses and ports:
71.115.67.44:5060, 192.168.0.100:5060 Even though they are responding and clicking accept. The school doesn't know anything about this and said they cant help me. Please help me and any info is greatly appreciated! Oh, by the way the iSight works fine in Yahoo messenger though.

Thanks, Dave

"the school" wouldn't know anything, but the person in charge of their network would.

If you've access to a *nix based machine, you could tunnel your iSight 'session' out via SSH - check the man page for 'ssh -L', I use it often at my University to access things that I need, that otherwise wouldn't be avaliable.

Also, I'm not sure if it's possible, but if you can specifiy a remote port to connect to (I don't have an iSight, and am new to macs), and the chap on the other end hosting it can listen on a different port, then 443 should pretty much work (it can't be proxied)
