I can sign onto AIM.com and I know my account is active because I can sign in on my iPhone or AIM express. I can't however log in using any 3rd part applications. I've tried logging in using Adium, iChat, and Gmail Chat (Gchat)

I have tried to change my port to "443" and changed the server name to something different. This is so weird. Any suggestions??
