I just can't use iChat. It's offline and every single time I try to use it, I get online for just a second and then it says my connection was lost. It was working till some days ago and I need it back, what should I do?
Thank you!
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
Try logging on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443(press return/enter(you might have to tick and untick SSL for 443 to stick)).
Log back in again.

I don't use AIM. I use a @mac.com account. Will it work anyway?
Yes, as .mac uses the AIM servers.
It DID work. Thank you so much! I can now talk to the people I need again!
iChat disconnects every time!
