iChat Problem

[BJD21]

So last night I tried to log into my AIM account on iChat and it keeps showing "Disconnected" with a caution triangle icon next to it which says when clicked, "iChat can’t communicate with the account “AIM”. I tried the basic things such as restarting and signing out and then back in. Anyone have any idea whats wrong?

Change your server from api.oscar.aim.com to slogin.oscar.aim.com.

I just tried changing the server and this time it said "connecting..." for about a minute and then went back to disconnected.

Mine's doing the same thing. Started this morning.

Those changes fixed mine with SSL enabled on port 443.

Change your server from api.oscar.aim.com to slogin.oscar.aim.com.

OOPS! Sorry that should be slogin.oscar.aol.com. Sorry!

That worked! Thanks!

slogin.oscar.aol.com worked for me as well.
Many thanks!
