Problems with iChat...

[rasmusschaal]

Hi i have some problems with iChat..
I cant log in to my AOL-IM account, everytime i try i get the message that The connection to the host was disconnected.
All the account information is entered properly, i dont know if the server is correct, please check:
server: login.oscar.aol.com
port: 5190

and its not set to connect with proxy.

Please help!

Have you tried any other chat applications to see if it's specific to iChat?
Keep in mind that it may be a problem on the AIM end of things.

That works perfectly fine!

That worked perfectly fine..
I have just upgraded to iLife 08 and iWork 08 this day (updated all software).
Can it have anything to do with that?

Same...

Same thing happened to me! It said something like disconnected from host... oscar.aol.com something along those lines. I just right clicked on the ichat icon and quit to exit it out then restarted and it worked fine.
