D-Link Router and AIM

joylee06 · 05-12-2005, 07:34 PM

I know I've read about this issue but I still haven't found a solution.

My AIM keeps disconnecting every 5 minutes but my internet connection is still alive.

What are the ports that should be opened?

I'm using D-Link DI-614+

No, I just have AIM running.

I'd love to help, but I'm not an AIM user, and I don't see anything obvious in a search...

All I have seen when I look into this is it is just AIM having this problem. Third party AIM clients like Trillian and Gaim are not having this issue.

A lot of AIM users are having this problem. Have not heard of a fix.

I've fixed it. I just opened port 5190 on my D-Link. Duh.
