Did anyone have trouble with AIM yesterday. I have no trouble with it on my home computer where I d/l it originally but I cannot access it remotely thru the web page any more on my work computer.

I use the free version.

Help!!!!

I didn't have any trouble with aim yesterday. Have you checked to see if your work place installed a new firewall? Some work places frown on employees downloading programs such as aim and counteract that by limiting internet access.

I had trouble, I had trouble! LOL, I couldn't access my aol account at all yesterday, it kept telling me I was on a member's page and it was restricted, even after entering my password. So I couldn't access my AOL Mail, but I'm on a new computer, and I don't have AOL downloaded, so I figured that was it.

Then I had to download AIM, which worked just fine, btw. Problem with that is that they sent an email to confirm my email address, I'm supposed to respond, but there is no email address to return it to, lol. The From box is empty. They give links to try out AOL for free (like that will happen again, lol) but no link to contact them. It was odd.

I didn't have trouble at all. I work for a computer security company -- we manage corporate instant messaging (AOL, MSN, Yahoo...) and P2P file sharing.

If your company allows IM during work, check with your IT group to see if they've installed a monitoring program or a new firewall. Also check to be sure your connection information is correct.

Finally, to test if it's your location or AIM, you can log on using AIM Express, their Web client.
