Comment (by dmmiller2k):

 This is exactly the same symptom I am seeing, using Pidgin 2.0.2 on WinXP
 SP2 with ZoneAlarm 7.0.337 (latest version as of today).

 After reading the thread above, I started to wonder whether the problem
 had anything to do with some sort of proxy I may have been running without
 knowing it, and as it turns out, Zome Alarm had something called IM
 Security, which has three settings, Off, Medium and High (security) and
 which I have had set to Medium through many versions (of both GAIM/Pidgin
 and Zone Alarm) now.

 Turning this setting to Off just now seemed to do the trick!  Once I
 turned it to Off and restarted Pidgin, it seemed to stay logged into AIM
 again.

 sfranklin1717, maybe you have some firewall running which attempts to be a
 transparent IM proxy?  I have no experience with anything except Zone
 Alarm, so I have no idea how to turn yours off in just this one area, but
 there must be a way to do it.

 Anyway, where might I find 2.0.1 in case I decide to try that version with
 IM Security set to Medium again?
