can not connect to AIM

[cuestakid]

so for some reason I am unable to connect to AIM on my MAC-i can do so on my dell laptop so something is blocking it-i got rid of the firewall that I had been using but they were working fine together before-can anyone give me some advice?

Are the two computers connected to the internet in the same way? How is the Mac connected to the internet now?

I should also mention that my other accounts (yahoo, msn) do work-I am using AdiumX-I tried iChat but that failed as well

what happens if you use the AIM client?

Is the Mac on a LAN connected to a router or to a computer using internet sharing? Is it the same router providing WiFi for the laptop or different?

mac is directly connected to the router-it is the same router that the laptop connects to'

EDIT-i cant even seem to find a working download for AIM anywhere-

if this helps here is the message i get from adium
"could not connect to authentication server"

Socket is not connected
