 Hi,

 I have an intermittent issue with Pidgin versions 2.0, 2.0.1, and 2.0.2,
 as well as GAIM, when attempting to log into the AIM Protocol. After about
 a minute of "connecting", I receive the following message:

 (Account Name) disconnected
 Could not connect to BOS server:
 Windows socket error #10060

 This error seems to be sporadic. AIM will occasionally connect only to
 disconnect with the socket error after a few minutes, hours, or days.

 I believe this issue is different than ticket number #1880 due to there
 being no firewall present. I apologize if I'm mistaken. I've disabled the
 router and Windows firewalls in attempts to find the source of the issue.
 The attached screenshot was taken directly after a seemingly random
 disconnect.
