Mac Geekery

Thank god i found this site! I need help..

My friend lives in the states, and i live in canada. we both have macs, and when we try to ichat, the video doesnt work. it says theres an error concerning the ip adress. he also says that when he tries to upload money onto a online card game account, he encounters the same problem and cant put money onto the account. but who cares about the cards! whats pissing me off is that i cant see him…and he cant see me!! hehe

can we do anything about this ip adress thing??

thanks!!!
