AIM works but I can't do pictures file transfer. Anyone know what ports I need to enable?

I think AIM uses random ports, so you might be outta luck unless you can find a AIM connection tracker..

I may be wrong though

Uses AIM's (and MSN's and Yahoo's and ICQ's) network(s). I didn't have any problem sending/recieving files from behind Zone Alarm, but I haven't tried it more than a couple of times.

TCP port 5190 needs to be opened on the Firewall, possibly UDP 5190 as well. I think you need a direct connection to transfer files.

Actually im not so sure that aim fully works with a firewall as some people I talk to with just your basic firewall have trouble sending and receiving files, and also sometimes cant direct connect.

Select your file transfer port in AIM and forward that port to your machine. I do it all the time from several different machines - all using different ports and all forwarded.

you got it, theres an option in new versions of AIM somewhere that allow you to specify what ports to use for connections i set mine to use the same as my FTP and got it forwarded through the router all is good in transfer land.
