Recently i have had a problem connecting to aol instant messenger. Its default is to use port 5190. But when i set it to autoconfigure, it goes to port 21 and i can connect right away. If i reset it goes back to 5190, but then i cant get connected or it takes forever, or im constantly disconnected. So i manually go back to port 21. Is port 21 safe to use, is my question. And would anyone know why all of a sudden this would start doing this? any ideas or answers would be greatly appreciated.
