ichat and aim could not connect - login problems

Help! ichat and aim do not connect on my computers.

I've tried - port 443, 1080, 5091 and neither works. I can ping the aol server, use msn, but I cannot connect to AIM with ichat or with the standalone version AIM 4.7 for the mac. The web version doesn't seem to work either. I started a new account and i got the same error message at login - could not connect to aim - the connection tot he host was unexpedtedly lost.

I am at a school, but the network guys have said that the application isn't being blocked and the ports should be open. I have a wireless macbook with os x tiger and a wired imac intel with os x tiger and neither work.

any suggestions?

macbook, imac 20" glossy, Mac OS X (10.4.10)
