Thanks for your responses.

After spending more time on their website, <sarcasm> I discovered their
"Any-Firewall-Whitepaper" where it states that I actually don't have a
problem since their technology works transparent to firewalls and
NAT.</sarcasm>

Lynn, you are correct.  There are some high UDP ports, but according to
their white-paper, these are only "outgoing" connections.  Since it's a
peer-to-peer connection, I'm not sure how both parties can have outgoing
connections, and no incoming connections...but its obviously some highly
advanced technology!  What's my exposure when opening those TCP and UDP
ports?  I'm VERY new to iptables, so be gentle.

Thanks,

Sean

The solution was posted on their website.  Apparently by default it uses
dynamic UDP and TCP but there is a static port patch for v2.2 located
here:

http://www.eyeballchat.com/download/patches/fixed_ports_patch22.reg

Then you need to open up these ports:

- UDP ports 5700, 5701 and 5702 and
- TCP ports 5500 and 5501.

Eyeball Chat should then work correctly.

I use an app, EyeBall chat, to video chat to relatives.

I would imagine that since it worked with Dachstein, there was probably
some high port UDP traffic that iptables stops with conntrack (statefule
connection tracking).
