Why do I keep getting disconnected from AIM while on the dorm network?

From TechHelp - MCLA's Technology Help Center

Here are some pointers to make sure your AIM client is correctly configured to work with the MCLA dorm network.

• The AIM client that works the best with the dorm network is ver. 5.9.3861 (Not AIM Triton). You can download this by going to: http://download.mcla.edu/aim/aim593861.exe.

• Ensure that your AIM client is configured to connect to the default port: 5190. You can check this in the settings area of your AIM client.

Note: Some AIM functions are deliberately blocked by the MCLA dorm network such as file transfer and talk.
