Has anyone figured out how to get around the firewall with aim and a linksys router? I have tried port forwarding but have not figured out which port to use. TIA

I use 5190 with Trillian for AIM. It should work the same for AOL's own AIM software.

would this allow me to send files? I tried setting the port forwarding to 5190 to 5190 but still could not send anything... what protocol would i use?

very strange.. i was forwarding port 4443 and i was able to direct connect and send file for a brief time. But now it seems the firewall has reappeared!?!

I didn't have much luck getting AIm to let me send files through a firewall, put Trillian seems to be ok with it, might be worth a try.

I've heard Trillian and AIM don't get along well, but ICQ does (and its owned by AOL . . . go figure)

Hmm... I never thought to mess with settings (Dynamic IP = no setup ), but what the hell.
I've got a Lynksys router too, what do I set what to do where and how? =)_)
