I have an AOL account (AOL, not AIM) which I use on iChat for chatting and videoconferencing. And one thing keeps happening that drives me crazy. I sign onto iChat and when I try to send a message to someone, I will get disconnected and can't sign back in. Somehow AOL thinks I am using my AOL screenname on more than one computer and when it's really bad, the security protocols kick in and my AOL password gets killed. So then I have to reset my AOL password, which takes a little time. So basically I'll be trying to chat and then get disconnected for awhile, as I'm trying to get things back to normal.
One thing I have discovered is it does tend to happen when I have Mail open. I have Mail set up to work with my AOL mail, so my only theory is having both Mail and iChat on at the same time is problematic for AOL screennames.
Any ideas as to how to fix this?
