[JDEV] Trouble getting the AIM Transport to run

[Mark Hahn]

I have jabber 1.2 running and have built and configured the aim 
transport according to Jay Chalfant's aim guide. I started jabber 
then started the aim transport using the command:

aimtrans -D -n aim.noah.gte.com -e aim.noah.gte.com -p 7009 -s test

and it spews out the following to standard output:

When I try to register using WinJab I receive server error messages 
saying that it "Could not connect this agent".  And in the error log 
I see the following message:

20001214T13:56:43: [warn] (-internal): base_accept Bouncing packet 
intended for aim.noah.gte.com
20001214T13:56:43: [notice] (aim.noah.gte.com): bouncing a packet to 
aim.noah.gte.com from isp1004 at noah.gte.com/isp: External Server Error

I am not sure where to look for this problem. My jabber 1.2 server 
works just fine with native clients and users but I can't get access 
to AIM users.  A configuration problem?  firewall problem?  Any hints 
or pointers will be appreciated.
