Nightingale 0 #2 May 17, 2004 you can configure AIM (dunno bout other IMs) to work around a proxy... you just have to know your proxy settings (in internet explorer under tools/internet options/connections/lan settings AIM has a way to configure it to work through your proxy...I think its in "settings" or something. You have to put in the port numbers, and then it will work. and to get the program there in the first place, if you're having trouble downloading it, just download it at home or kinkos or something and put it on a CD or disk. I'm sorry, I'm not a techie, so I don't know the right words for it all, but that's basically how you do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyangel2 2 #3 May 17, 2004 Just ask Renee or Kris how smart I am when it comes to computers.

Nightingale 0 #8 May 17, 2004 ok. in internet explorer (web browser), click on "Tools" at the top of the screen. next. click on "internet options" in the tools menu. That will open a box. In the box, click on the "connections" tab at the top of the box. Then, click on the box that says "LAN settings" and click on "Advanced". Write down the proxy server address and port number. Next, go into AOL Instant Messager. Play around with the tabs until you find where you can put in that info. Probably under "connections" or "options" or something like that. AIM should work then. Sorry I can't find the exact stuff in AIM to click on, I don't have the program here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #9 May 17, 2004 oh! Then she can go to AIM.com and click on AIM Express, which is on the toolbar to the left of the screen. It will let you access the AIM service when you can't download the software. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyangel2 2 #12 May 17, 2004 This is what I get when I finish with the download for the IM yahoo chat. QuoteYou do not have access to make the required system configuration modifications. Please rerun this install from an administrators account I'm on the college network, my tech is going to see what he can do.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

mailin 0 #13 May 17, 2004 That happened to me too.... So ya know what I did?
