I just instaled gaim 1.5.0 to my comptuer and as soon as i log on to my aim account i get kicked off after about 5 or 10 seconds. anyone know whats going on? Im on my dell laptop on wireless (not loosing my wireless signal though) and im running norton system works 2003. I disabled my firewall and still had this problem. anyone got any ideas?

and you think it's the client as opposed to a network problem?

it seems like it to me. i first installed gaim 2.0 beta 3 and this problem happend. i just assumed that it was a beta issue so i switched to the released version. but it still will not stay connected. i dont know what else to try. i have also tried multiple aim screen names with the same result. i guess it could also be something weird with my computer too.

im running the older gaim and it works fine for me. i have a similar issue with regular aim though, reconnects every 10 seconds (so i use gaim).

^^ do you have 1.5.0 or an older verison?

I figured it out. It was the GTK +2 runtime thing. I had the latest version. i installed and older version and now it works.

ok, here's my problem with Gaim:
I can't use my normal sn.

Every time I try to log in, it tells me "Incorrect nickname/password"
Trust me, the username and password were typed correctly.

I tried logging in with my alternative sn, and it worked fine.
I think the problem lies with the fact that my usual sn is an AOL account instead of an AIM account.

Anyone know of a fix for this?
