I'm trying to connect to AOL or ICQ throug kopete but it seems not to work. Indeed everytime I connect i obtain an error message like this
"Connection with login.oscar.aol.com lost"
Sincerly I've tried also with Gaim obtaining the same result. I've tried also to create a new account but it does not work the same.....
what is going on? any idea?
tak
I would like to add that I cannot connect neither using the official aim messenger for linux....maybe it is a problem with the port used but i don't know how to verify
well, first, you would check your own PC's firewall settings - ask whoever installed Linux on the PC to check that.
Or, you would check to see if you're behind a router (that is, if you have a lot of comps connected to a router that's connected to your modem...) and check to see if the router is blocking those requests (routers can usually be accessed at http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1 depending on the brand)
Unfortunately it does not work. I've installed fedora on my own, and I'm directly connected to internet through the LAN of my research institute. I did not set any firewall otherwise i would not been able to connect to samba windows server. So i don't think this is the problem although I've not been able to check if port 5190 (I think that is the port used from AIM protocol or Oscar protocol) does work properly or not.
any other suggestion??
