I can't check because I'm no longer at that job behind a corporate firewall. But even so, it might not help. No two corporate firewalls are exactly the same. What worked for me might not work for you. I don’t think I changed any other settings for Yahoo - just the port. I can’t check because I’m no longer at that job behind a corporate firewall.

Try googling "AIM ports" and see if other ports will work on the AIM end. Then try each of them (as with Yahoo). If you can't find an AIM port list, I'd try some wild guesses - can't hurt. The worse that can happen is it won't work. You could try all the Yahoo ports. Try port 80 - you know the firewall will let that through, and maybe it will work on the AIM end.
