i have a cable router/switch and i can't transfer files through aim. the router acts as a firewall, and it shoots down anything in or out from AIM. i tried opening port 5190 as a service port, but it didnt work. any ideas. thanks in advance

Try to reinstall AIM, make shure that your firewall is allowing AIM to access the internet. Good Luck
