Unable to connect to AIM via iChat- Adium works fine...

Question

I have been trying to get this to work for a long time, but just can't figure it out.
I am currently using Adium and everything works fine and connects, but Adium has no support for video so when I want to do a video chat, I used to just login to iChat.
Now, when I try to login to iChat, I get the "Lost connection with AIM" error.
It will sometimes connect for less then a second, then it just dies.
I have checked logs and just cant figure it out. I am not using a proxy, I know the server settings are correct, and I don't have anything on my router that could cause this- especially because it works fine with Adium...
Anyone else ever had this problem? If so- know any way to fix it?
Looking at logs, I see its doing:
Tue Oct 9 2007 00:54:11.672 PDT -Allw- local:0 -> 192.168.1.1:53 (domain) udp4 'lookupd (15310)'
Tue Oct 9 2007 00:54:11.696 PDT -Allw- 192.168.1.1:53 (domain) -> local:61846 udp4 'lookupd (15310)'
Tue Oct 9 2007 00:54:11.696 PDT -Allw- local:55479 -> 64.12.200.89:5190 (aim ) tcp4 'iChatAgent (23718)'
Tue Oct 9 2007 00:54:11.696 PDT -Allw- 127.0.0.1:61847 -> 127.0.0.1:61847 udp4 'iChatAgent (23718)'
Tue Oct 9 2007 00:54:12.182 PDT -Allw- local:55480 -> 64.12.24.129:5190 (aim ) tcp4 'iChatAgent (23718)'
So it looks like it is finding the IP and connecting to it, but its connecting to multiple IPs for AOL? I just have no idea...

Hi
Try logging on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443.
Log back in again.
