I use aim a lot to send files to friends ands stuff...
I just networked all my comps on a 4 port linksys router...
But now I can't send or get files now over aim..
Anyone know port aim uses or any other way to get it past the filewall?

If you go to www.practicallynetworked.com you can find a list there of the ports that AIM uses as well as alot of good info about home networking.

I'm having a similar problem with AIM, can't transfer files or direct connect. I'm connecting thru AnalogX Proxy. Regular instant messaging works great, but not the file transfer. I thought it was just because of the proxy, but i see your having trouble with it even using a router, (which i'm planning on getting anyway, but i thought it would solve this problem). If you find out anything please post back, I'll do the same,,
later
