For some reason my AIM won't remain connected for long periods of time. It randomly disconnects for no apparent reason. I usually cannot stay connected for more than say two hours at a time, but lately it disconnects about every 20-30 minutes.

The error message that comes up is the generic "Connection lost. Check your Internet connection." I am like 100% sure my internet connection is not the problem since I am on a university connection, which is always on. Some more proof that it is not an interruption in my connection is that once in a while it will occur when I am downloading something or while playing an online game, and even though my AIM disconnects, the download/games are not interrupted.

I am using Windows XP, connect thru a univ. connection, and use AIM 5.2.3292. I also use ZoneAlarm as my firewall, but AIM is checked off on all counts as something to allow access.

Thanks
Any help would be appreciated.
