 AIM [happens from time to time], I cannot log back on and I get the same
 error message. Except now, the only way I can log back on is to disable
 Norton Internet Security [what I actually have is Symantec Client
 Firewall, but I'm sure they're the same] and log on, then enable it again.
 So it must be a problem with that. I'm not sure how to fix it. I don't
 want to have to disable and enable every time I have to log on, and I'd
 rather not get rid of the client firewall.

 Symantec Firewall (I have no idea where the setting actually is) -
 otherwise you'll have to complain to Symantec tech support, there really
 isn't anything that we can do about it.
 I ended up filling out a tech support form with Symantec. Thanks for the
 help. If I can't get this fixed, any suggestions for another firewall? :/
