iChat disconnects every time!

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.
