How Do I Fix My Aim Connection, Because It Says "Connection Failure When Ever I Sign On?

I have this problem too. I get "connection failed" every time I try to log on. The date / time is automatically set through the internet so I don't think that's the problem. I also tried restarting everything and disabling the firewall but AIM still will not connect.

OS: Windows Vista Home Premium, SP1

It can be caused by weak connection, may be you should try to use mobile signal booster? In my case it helped me very much))) Hope could help you, I'll give an example of it, it makes the connection better))

Same thing is happening to me, I tried auto configuring, my date and time did change but I already fixed that but the aim still does not work.

I have this problem too with AOL and I find that if I wait a really good while before trying to connect to my internet provider the connection is ok. My theory is that my anti-virus program AVG starts to do a check immediately I log on and this is causing a conflict.

The answer is... Your date and time are set incorrectly, AIM requires this to be right in order to sign in.

Go to settings then go to connetction then press auto configure then it will say save save it then try it again thats wut I did

Set your date and time correctly!
