iChat troubleshooting

[ScottieBaio]

When I log into iChat to use AIM one of two things will happen. It will either connect and nothing will happen i.e. no names will appear on my list. It just says connected.
or
It will log in and immediately disconnect.

I believe that I have downloaded all updates. Can anyone help me with this?

Where are you? I notice that sometimes AIM goes down in different places around the country. Or, I've heard mention of ISPs being the issue. Who do you use?
