I hate my work computer and the constraints of our network security. I find it odd that I can get the normal ICQ and Yahoo to connect as well as the Web-based AIM, but can never get Trillian, Miranda, or Gaim to connect. Grrrr…
I’ve even tried to use the working proxy (http) setting from ICQ (us_proxy_***.xh1.***.com, port: 9000) in trillian and miranda, but no luck. What can I do in order to get a connection? It seems that if ICQ etc… can connect, I should be able to use that connection information with Miranda etc…
I can connect to both AIM and ICQ through our corporate firewall, both with the native client apps and Trillian. I’m not currently using a proxy server, although I’ve done so successfully in the past.
One trick that has helped is using one of the odd AIM ports — sometimes those are not blocked — although in your case, because you can already connect via AIM (but not Trillian), I don’t think that will make any difference. Just in case, I’ve attached a screenshot of my own settings.
It is likely that AIM has been auto-configured to use a different AIM port, if Jeff’s suggestion does not work, go to the AIM sign-on screen, select Setup, then Connection and check what port/server AIM is configured to use. 13 and 21 are also ports you can try if that does not work.
