On your buddylist, click setup -> sign on/off -> connection -> reset. Click all the Ok’s until your back at the buddylist. Try connecting again and if it doesnt work its an issue besides Aim such as a firewall blocking it maybe?

Try this, click the Setup button on the signon screen and go into the aim preferences screen, then click “Sign On/Off”; On that tab you should find a connection button, click it. A window should pop up with connection settings, replace the “Host” with one of the following servers.

One of them is bound to work, if not make sure something is not wrong with your computer, try system restore to the point when AIM worked.

Add login.oscar.aol.com, login.icq.com, and toc.oscar.aol.com to that.

I have almost the same problem…but I don’t get “the service cannot be reached” When I click sign on it goes to 1. Connecting… and doesn’t goto the next steps, it just sits on there. I don’t know how to fix this problem. Does anyone know how I can fix this???

Please help,
Thanx
