Does AIM work behind firewalls?
Normally it works, but it all depends on how your network administrator set up the firewall. In case it doesn’t work with the default setup, first check to see if you need a proxy server when you connect to the Internet (check on Netscape browser: Edit->Preference->Advanced->Proxies). Check with your network administrator. If you don’t need a proxy server, but default port 5190 doesn’t work, then just change it to 80 or some other popular port number from the Setup->Connect in Sign on window.
