WRT600N and AIM service disconnects

I've been diagnosing a problem related to my Palm Pre on Wifi connected to my WRT600N router, Firmware revision 1.01.36 build 4. It seems to be that when the Palm is idling and not sending data over AIM for quite a few minutes that it'll disconnect and it takes quite a bit for it to reconnect while still idling OR it'll reconnect when I actually go to change status or message someone. I had thought this was isolate to my Palm Pre, but discovered the same thing almost at the same time can happen on my computer when I have the actual AIM program itself running and idling. Here's the funny part, Trillian Astra using the AIM protocol doesn't do this, ever. I've even checked the status window and Trillian gets NO random disconnects.
Here's what I found though, AIM and Trillian are using slightly different connections, but on the same port.
Trillian is using login.messaging.aol.com on port 5190
AIM is using login.oscar.aol.com on port 5190
What could be causing this anamoly?
The only other issue I've had with this router that's notable is that storagelink works for a while when first set up but can have error when you do certain things, I've read many complaints about this though, so, I'm not convinced it's isolated or that the router is in some way faulty because anything else I do works perfect. I have port 113 forwarded to my laptop (which is my only personal PC) and also ports 10072 and 10074, all 3 of which are for IRC related to Ident and DCC.
I'm also currently waiting for information back from Palm Technicians as to what login and port Palm's AIM client uses to try and compare and see if it's on the same one AIM is on my PC to see what's at fault here. I know it's impossible to be the settings themselves alone because millions of people are on AIM without random disconnects using these settings, so my best guess is something at the router is causing issue, even Palm had suggested this to another user with the same issue elsehwere.
WRT600N - V1.0
Firmware 1.01.36 Build 4

I could possibly do that, but unfortunately in the world of testing an idea, too many things change with that. First, I would be unable to test it on my Palm Pre, only my laptop. Secondly, the laptop would no longer be wireless, it would be on a wired connection.
I did some research and tried shutting off "filter anonymous internet requests" as I had read this sometimes stops services from getting a successful ping and may terminate a connection abruptly, unfortunately this was not the case here. Could the built in Firewall (in router) have some effect on this?

Planning and Shared Services security disconnect.

Hi,
We have an intermittent problem. We are running 9.3.1 of Planning, Essbase, and Shared Services, etc. We have 6 planning applications on the same server. We use oracle as the database. The problem is at some point in time Planning stops getting updates made in Shared Services. When it happens you can go into the planning application, view the security on any object, and click "Add Access". The "Users and Groups" select box get's populated with "<None Available>". If you bounce the planning service and come back in the "Users and Groups" is populated as expected. It also dosen't affect all of the application or the same applications.
We have an admin group that makes security updates. Mainly just adding users to native groups. When things are working the changes/additions flow through to the planning tables. (HSP_USERSINGROUP,HSP_OBJECT). We gave this group a query to run that shows the access a specific user has in planning. If a user is added to a group in SS they then run the query to make sure the access is granted in planning. When the query doesn't bring back the information they think should be there we know we have the issue and start scheduling an outage to bounce planning.
Anyone else seen this behavior and is there another way to fix this besides bouncing planning?
Thanks for any responses.

This show multiple apps but you could knock it down.

AIM service error wont allow me to stay connected

An AIM service error occurred. The server message was: Serv:RequestTimeout.. It tells me this when i try to talk to someone.. It tells other people i am available and they instant message me but i dont recieve them.. I need help, this is a brand new macbook and will not allow me to stay connected to aim!

Hello,
To change the channels that the NetGear router is pushing the signal over, do the following:
Log into http://192.168.0.1 username: admin, password: password (this is the default unless you changed it, which I'd recommend for security anyway).
Go to wireless settings
Go to channel
Change it to something like "11" which seems to work best for me (although it can really depend with wireless interference in your area, other WiFi networks, cordless phones, microwaves, etc).
Go to the bottom and click save and then log out.
It could be possible that your wireless router is susceptible to wireless interference because of the channel it's communicating on and thus dropping your internet connection, thus causing AIM to disconnect.

Kindly refer to Case Id No. 525700065 in India.I have talked to various people on my case for more than 5 hours ( Total talk time) The people give various different answers and aim really fed up now. What do i do?
Many apple phone users are especially fed up with RSGI Communication , Erandwana, Pune, Maharashtra, India.
Their service report No. 36679.
Allthough Mr Punit ( Technical Dept. Apple.) had requested RSGI to chance the device, still RSGI said they do not have the device ( I phone 5, white ,16GB) in stock.
Today when we contacted them they said they won't be able to replace OR order to Apple unless and until we do not keep the device with them for 3 days.
Mr Deepak of Technical Dept Apple was contacted who's telephonic Transript as proof is available with us.

Who exactly are you addressing your screed to
There are no Apple Staff on this forum ,it is User to User

IChat 5.0 and AIM messenger 6.9 and 7.0 (more about crashes)

I don't know what happened with iChat from Snow Leopard, but taking a look in this forum at least I feel I'm not the only one, and that Mac fail for real this time.
I tried to start an audio or video chat with some friends who use AIM messenger 6.9 and 7.0 -Windows XP and Vista users-, and that's what happen:
With people using AIM 6.9.17.2:
1. iChat quits unexpectedly during video chat (and changing the Bandwidth Limit to 500 kbps doesn't make any difference)
2. iChat Audio and Video not working correctly (during the 30 seconds to 2 minutes it works people start seeing me into huge green pixels)
With people using AIM 7.0.13.4:
1. iChat doesn't allow to begin an audio or a video chat (appears a textbook saying that the other user decline the invitation, despite they in fact accept it)
iChat from Leopard always worked perfect, all my problems started after installing Snow Leopard. It's just like have changed from Windows XP to Windows Vista -sad, very sad. Any advise?

Hi,
By Default the Windows Firewall since XP service Pack 2 has only allowed Microsoft apps to accept Internet Connections.
Any other app needs to be allowed as an Exception in the Firewall.
Turning the firewall Off does not seem to be the answer for some reason.
Open the Start Button > Control Panels Firewall (In XP they may want to use Classic View here)
Open the Firewall.
In it's window across the top are three tabs.
The Middle one in XP is Exceptions.
It opens a new window.
In this New window choose the Add Button.
Add AIM by navigating to Applications/Program Files to AIM and the AIM(#).exe
(AIM used to be just AIM.exe at AIM 5.9 or earlier. At AIM 6 it became AIM6.exe so that AIM 5.9 and AIM 6.x could be installed at the same time - I am presuming AIM 7 Is AIM7.exe)
If their Modem or router is using UPnP that back at the list of Apps they Should also choose UPnP as well as checking AIM has been added to the List.
I have not heard that Windows Vista is any different. (Not heard anything about Windows 7)
In their Modem or router if they are not allowing ports to be open using UPnP then they should list port 443, 5190 and 1024-5000 for AIM to Video chat.

HT4623 My voice mail has suddenly stopped working. A caller just hears ringing for a long tome and then it disconnects. Does anyone know how to get it back or how VM stopped working? Thanks.

Hi everyone. My voicemail just stopped working. A caller today said they got a message that it was not activated or something like that. When I called it from another phone all I got was ringing for a long time and then a disconnect. I have had this phone for about three months and it has been working until now.
I updated software and turned the phone off and on again. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

Email address with AIM Service

HELP..
Got a Question... My email address is register with the AIM service. Can I use iChat with my register email that I currently use to chat with users of AIM ? or must I have a AIM Screen Name ?
Thanks..

Hi RickieV,
Several ISPs and other services include registration with AIM of the Email Address you are given including Apple.
Essentially the " @ " symbol is a valid character in a Screen Name with AIM.
It is most likely this email you have will work as a Screen Name in iChat.
When entering it you will have to select the AIM type of account.
I hope this helps.

Cannot have audio with iChat and AIM

Hi,
I am trying to use iChat with friends using AIM (on PC).
But I have never been able to start an audio session with someone (exchange of text messages is Ok).
The "button" with the phone remains grey (not active). So I cannot start an audio session after contact selection).
My microphone is Ok (Audio is Ok with other tool like Skype).
Also, in the contact list, I dont see any audio logo in front of their names, even if they are online (and then able to have text chats).
When PC/AIM friends want to start an audio session with me, they get the following message "[email protected] is not accepting Talk invitations or does not support the Talk feature."
What can I do ?
More details on my configuration :
I have an eMac with MAC OS X 10.3.9 and iChat 2.1(v153)
I am using the micro integrated somewhere in the computer.
In networking system preferences,
the Mas OS firewall is not activated (should be activated with appropriate ports ?)
and no service is activated (some services should be activated ?).
Can you help ?
I would like to do have also video with friends but I would like to be able to do audio before !
When I see all problems in the iChat discussion, I am a little bit afraid ...
Does iChat 3 could be better ?
Thanks

Hi Gérard,
Welcome to the Apple Dicussion Pages
See this FAQ
You will see it says (near the bottom ) that Audio only chats can not be done from AIM (on a PC) to iChat.
Trillian Basic does allow Audio Chats from PCs to Mac usiing the same AIM servers (Smae names will work). They also do a Pro version that will do Video as well (costs $25).
AIM are also working on Triton which is supposed to add this feature. (See link under the yellow DONWLOAD Now button).
Your friend can download a beta of this if he wishes but it is a very early version.

AIM service error

I am trying to use iChat. When I do, I am able to send an IM to someone, but when they send an IM back, I get the following error message:
AIM error:
An AIM service error occurred. The server message was: Serv:RequestTimeout
and I am unable to view the IM from the other person.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

There have been issues with both @Mac.com screen names and the new Mobile me names that end @me.com
This has been because the change over has not been as smooth as Apple would have wished.
The AIM server have to check with these Lists to verify the Screen name and Password but the Apple end has had problems.
What it pays to do at present for a @me.com account is add it as if it is an AIM type name and type the whole ID including the suffix.
Some people have reported that this also works for @mac.com names
At this screen and Adding an Account in iChat > Preferences > Accounts and using the Plus Button....
Enter it like this ...

An AIM service error occurred, but where to Log-Out ?

Here's a real basic question, due to be a head-slapping "of course !" ( I hope )
I just got Leopard last Sat, my brother Jim tonight, and he suggested an iChat so he could show me what was different on a big ol' MacPro.
There was a lot that mystified us about iChat on Tiger, let alone it's beefed-up Leopard incarnation, so I looked into it and got enough of the "An AIM service error occurred. Error: Serv:RequestTimeout " that I googled it and found this thread from right here on Apple Discussons : http://74.125.95.104/search?q=cache:H2ojIfDVIDoJ:discussions.apple.com/thread.js pa%3FthreadID%3D1208110An+AIM+service+error+occurred.+Error:Serv:RequestTimeout&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=safari
So many flummoxed by the same deal. But here's my problem & where I'm stupidly stuck :
To follow the suggestion & change server-ports, one must log out, but aside from Log-In being greyed out, I can find nowhere *to log out !* !!
It's one a' those really annoying Catch-22's too.
I have to log out to change the server-port, but can I change the port when logged-out ??
And where the *@#% is the log out option ?!
Heh-heh ( help )
( thanks )

Thanks Tony,
This time I went in, clicked in accounts from .mac to MoblieMe ( all I have is .mac and Bonjour . . . no AIM, which I thought I did ! ), but I decided MobileMe was likely not so "stable" and I switched it back to .mac. I checked Server Settings and I wasn't greyed out.
I switched it to 443, pioked around a bit, and now I am greyed out again !
I am also completely confused, if it ain't obvious !
but thanks again !

Aim An AIM service error occurred. Error: Serv:RequestTimeout

When using Aim in ichat there is a common error that occurs every 2 -3 minutes
the message that it gives me is
An AIM service error occurred. Error: Serv:RequestTimeout
Anyone help please
Thankyou

And just about a month later this issue comes up again. It seems that time is the only real answer to fixing this issue. I tried a combination of solutions last night and when I woke up this morning, I launched iChat...it flickered (like it does before it says you have logged in too many times too quickly) and I immediately quit the app.
Started up Adium, works like a charm.
Opened ichat about a half hour later, and started flickering again..what gives

"An AIM service error occurred. Error: Serv:RequestTimeout" - Please help.

So I've been having the dreaded
"An AIM service error occurred.
Error: Serv:RequestTimeout"
pretty much ever since I got my MacBook Pro a year ago. Up until recently, it only popped up maybe once a month. But now it's gotten to the point where I get the error message within 5-10 minutes of a chad starting with someone else. I have tried changing the port and whatnot, but I still get the same error message. I have gone through pages of similar topic forums, but no solution has fixed my problem.
Does anyone have any advice?
P.S. I tried switching to Adium. I hate it.

Shut down the computer any router and modem.
Repower the Modem and wait until it says it is Ready.
Then any Router and wait again.
Lastly power up the computer.
Also check that any DNS servers listed in the modem or router set up pages are copied across to the Mac > System Preferences > Network (Maybe advanced button > DNS tab).

Aim service not enabled

Whenever I try to sign on to aol instant messaging (aim) it gives me this message "service not enabled for this handheld."
Anyone know how I can get this to be enabled?

This means that your carrier and blackberry and AIM do not have an agreement set up. Like I can't use WLM on att. Try a third party messenger service like webmessenger. That's what I use so I can talk with my WLM contacts. It may work for AIM too. Give it a try.

How do I get my money refunded? I am not getting what I want from this, cannot email anyone for help, cannot get someone on the phone I can understand, and keep getting disconnected. I just want my money back.
