Ask HN: Anybody having/had trouble using facetime?
I had some issues with FaceTime when I first tried using it. I kept getting the "Connecting" message upon accepting a call. It seems that some routers might be blocking certain ports used by FaceTime by default ...
If you are having issues with FaceTime, open these ports on your router:
TCP:
5380
443
4080
5223
UDP:
16393 - 16472
Another solution (slightly risky) is assigning a static IP address to your iPhone 4 and adding it to the DMZ ..
Hope this helps
- watmough 16y agoWe have an unmodified AT&T uverse wireless router, and had no problems getting through to the FaceTime demo guys this morning. Setting your iPhone to a static ip address and putting it in the dmz is an utterly crazy suggestion. Are you asking for people to get hacked?
- desigooner 16y agoI did say it's risky .. but for certain models of Belkin routers (atleast that's the only one I know), port forwarding doesn't work and putting the phone in DMZ was the only option to open the ports up.
