I even tryed the ethernet cable. But like i said it works at my home and has worked at school since september. Does anyone know why? thank you
 
Try changing the AIM ports to something other than the default. Go to iChat Preferences and click your acct. then hit server settings. Now just put in another port number, try 1850 or some other 4 digit port (doesn't really matter).

Your school might have firewalls on some of the default ports.
