iChat and AIM: Connection Refused by Host

[Sum 2 Three]

Yo. A quick search did not turn up any answers, so here I am.

A couple weeks ago, iChat stopped consistently connecting to AIM. Almost always, when I attempt to connect, I get 'connection refused by host'. This occurs only with iChat; connecting with AOL's client results in no errors.

Everything (OS and iChat) are up to date so far as I know.

Can anyone help me to fix this?

I am having the same issue.

Happens to me sometimes. iChat has always seemed a little flakey to me. Sometime if you go into server settings and change the port to something else it will help.
