Can she see others? Did you try turning off the firewall?
Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

Can she see other people logged in?
Can other people see you being logged in?

If you guys are both using iChat are you sure that you entered each other's names in correctly?

If one of you can see the other, can that person IM the other.

Give us some more detail please.

Yeah, She sees everyone but me. I'm her only brother and she wouldn't misspelled my name. Everything went fine with her seeing other people logged on. Other people see me being logged on, too-- Just fine.. But why is this happening that she couldn't see me on ichat?

Never mind guys,

She said she figured out- she gotta add my screen name in her AOL account and then it'll show up on her ichat buddy list?! Weird... But thanks!!
