IF you have a linksys router this is a widely known problem. Its a problem with when aim sends the connect message to who you want to connect to it tells the other persons computer your ip is the one on your computer not the ones of lets just say your cable modem. So your computers ip is 192.168.1.100 but your cable modems ip which is the one that people need to connect to your is like 24.185.16.167 when that happens they look into almost like space to find you. ITs an error in AIM programing and the people at aol dont seem to be quick to fix it
