Well, that is all I have found thus far, what as mentioned above. Have you checked to make sure the computer you are trying to connect to is accepting the connection? I know it sounds simple, but gotta knock out the obvious first. I'll keep looking. Oh, and I don't know if it would make a difference, but are both the newest version of AIM? | |

This is kinda off topic but I see "I Dunno NEthing"'s message text in a different font than the standard one. Anyone else see this? Her reply a couple posts down shows up in the normal font.

I've had several contacts who cannot direct connect because either they are using an older version of windows, aol or there on a mac. I'd say that's probably the reason. Find out what operating system she is running and when you try to direct connect , find out the OS on the other side. I run XP and I cannot connect to several people running older version of AOL, and Win. 95.
