problems with ichat on my macbook pro?

Ok so I have Ichat and stuff , and Im trying to use my @mac.com account. However, it keeps telling me my password is wrong! I know it isnt, because I have changed it a couple of times and have verified it by using my mac.com account for other things... so is there a reason why i can't connect to ichat, and is there a way to fix it?

I am using mac OS X on a macbook pro.

    "However, it keeps telling me my password is wrong!"

    You may think it's right, but, according to iChat, your password is WRONG, or incomplete.

    Here's what iChat's Help files say:

    "If you can’t log in to your account

    Try these suggestions:

    Check your account settings: Choose iChat > Preferences and then click Accounts. Select the account you want to check from the list and, if necessary, edit the settings.

    If you’re using a MobileMe account (including Mac.com), make sure your name is entered correctly and is followed by @me.com or @mac.com. Retype your password to make sure it is entered correctly.

    If you’re using an AOL Instant Messenger account, make sure your AIM screen name is entered correctly. AIM screen names don’t contain “@” signs or have suffixes. Retype your password to make sure it is entered correctly.

    If you’re using a Jabber account, make sure you have a valid Jabber ID and that it is registered with the Jabber server you’re using. Your Jabber ID is followed by the name of the server; for example, @Jabber.org."

    First of, MacOS X is as much as ten.6.a million no longer 6.a million. activate iChat, bypass to the selections interior the ideal menu bar when you have logged in. Then bypass to the audio/video portion of the selections and set the ideal line interior the window (below the video image of your self) to inner microphone. that should resolve your issues. you like DSL velocity or greater powerful for a stable video chat.
