Hi all buddies,
I have installed AIM to my workplace win xp box. The chating with buddies works fine but not the video chat. I can do the video chat within the office network (Firewalled and NAT by netscreen 5xp which seems like not support UPnP). I guess it’s the nat problem.
Any body have overcome this by any way? By install add-ons? or change the policy on the firewall?

That’s generally not how any firewall works, and you should not be surprised.
Video IM requires an open port on your network, so the remote computer can create a direct connection to you. Either talk to your admin about getting a port opened to your computer (or everyone that you want to Video IM with will need a port opened), otherwise there is nothing you can do.
