aight at my school we have a laptop program where all the kids get laptops and we have a wireless network in the whole school. The guys that run the tech stuff are jerks and the blocked my aim. i used to be able to get on instant messanger i was on it b4 first block this morning then we had a firedrill and when I got back i couldnt. It got to the 3rd part of the loading screen then it wouldnt start up. I think its the school cause its happened to a lot of other kids. I had changed the port to 23 to get on it b4 but that doesnt work n e one got tips on what to do?

LOL the ole

"blocking the damn messenger cuz it isn't school appropriate" trick huh?

Fuckers...thats when it's time to get down and dirty and take a happy back door.

The Port isn't what is causing you to be blocked, it's the IP Address.

AIM uses a different IP than it does for it's website, so when you ping the server to get your buddy list info, the school's shit is like "Ahh..the fucker is tryin to get in..block his ass"

If you go to
www.aim.com

Then they have an "AIM Express" where you can access your buddy list and send messages through an online AOL Messenger
That messenger uses a different IP address than the actualy AIM Messenger does.

If the AIM Express messenger is the one your using...then you could always try a quick ping and tracert to see if AIM uses any other IP and Port numbers.

Go into the MS-DOS or command prompt

type in "ping and then whatever the aol address is"
that will give you teh ip

then after you have the IP address

type in at the same command prompt

tracert and then the IP number

it will start conducting HOPS

A "hop" is how the website goes..

for example...to get to the aol website, you might have to have the signal from your computer go through 3 different servers and or client computers..

If that being the case, then you might be able to access your information over one of the other servers or client computers

after it is done Tracerting, it should give you port addresses and other server information.

Try to Telnet the other servers and the origional IP

If you get to a screen and it says "userName:" and so forth
type in your regular user name and password for AIM...you might be able to access your information through telnet...I dunno though.

Hit me back with any results
