 Replying to [ticket:2485 Felbane]:
 > 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.

 See #2097 --  breaux found using login.messaging.aol.com works and so it
 did for me.
