maybe I left my work PC logged into AIM and its preventing me from connecting. usually when I lock the work PC & go home my iChat works fine.

i am having trouble connecting also.

for some reason i have no issues if I am using ADIUM or the AIM program itself, but with iChat if it keeps disconnecting, it will work again if you use a BRAND NEW AIM screenname.

Very strange... have stopped using iChat for now while I figure this out.

I rebooted my Powerbook and that seemed to solve it for me. I was not connected at the office so I tried the PB while at the office and still no luck. My PB had not been restarted in a couple days (sleep mode). After the restart it worked fine.
