Hi...

Haven't been able to connect in iChat the past few days. Anyone else have this? Anyone have a solution?

I already tried trashing the prefs for iChat.

thx, tobs

Works fine here.

So it seems I need to reinstall to get iChat. Ain't too excited about that.

I hasd the same issue once. If I connected using iChat or Fire, I'd connect for an instant, and then drop right back off (or not connect at all).

However, after I connected using AIM Express, and then tried iChat again, it worked. I don't know why, but that fixed it for me. I suppose it's worth a try, AIM Express is just a little java applet that can run within your browser.

Best of luck getting it to work for you (hopefully you won't have to re-install iChat)
