AIM - AOL Instant Messenger:
Choose Another Service

1. Are you running the current Trillian version 0.725? If not, you can find it HERE.
   


2. Toggle the Status Window for your AIM connection while signing on. If you receive an error similar to, "AIM: You are attempting to sign on again too soon." or "AOL is tired of hearing from your IP address. Try again later", it means that you have connected too many times in too small of a time period. The time you will have to wait depends on how many times you hammered the AIM servers. You can usually reconnect after 15 minutes. If you try to connect too early after given your warning, the fallback timer will reset.
   


3. IF you are running the current Trillian version 0.725, and still experiencing connection issues, head over to The Official Trillian Website for updates. It would also be helpful to make a note on the forum in the corresponding thread to help determine how widespread the problem is.

MSN - Microsoft Network Messenger:
Choose Another Service

1. Trillian is not vulnerable to the recently discovered security hole in MSN Messenger.
   


2. There are currently no known issues involving Trillian and MSN Messenger. If you are running Trillian v0.275 and still having problems, refer to the Official Trillian Website.

Y! - Yahoo! Messenger:
Choose Another Service

1. Toggle the Status Window for your Yahoo! connection while signing on. If you receive the error, "*** Lost connection to Yahoo! Messenger (couldn't get header)! Error code 0." try the following:
   
   A. In Trillian Preferences, change the default Yahoo! server to "cs.yahoo.com" instead of "scs.yahoo.com". If you cannot connect, move to Step B.
   
   B. Click on the Yahoo! icon, go to Personal Preferences, and then Account Info. Once you arrive at the Yahoo! website, login and change your password (it can be to the same password), and then try reconnecting through Trillian. This method plus Step A worked for me personally.
   
   C. If those steps did not work for you, retry them using "csa.yahoo.com" instead of "cs.yahoo.com".
   


2. The password changing workaround seems to work for the majority of users. It is unknown why, but it is a temporary fix, and will hopefully be resolved in the next Trillian update. We have yet to hear from Yahoo! when the issues with the "scs.yahoo.com" server will be fixed.

ICQ - I Seek You:

1. If you are experiencing a problem with users on your ICQ contact list not receiving your messages while using the current Trillian v0.725 release, keep an eye on the news and The Official Trillian Website. There is no known current solution, but a workaround or update will be posted as soon as it is available.
