Category: msn Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: ravennolonger (ravennolonger) Assigned to: Stu Tomlinson (nosnilmot) Summary: MSN connection problem Initial Comment: Can anyone shed some light on an issue I have with Gaim on windows connecting to MSN. I can not connect to MSN either by regular protocol or even using the HTTP method. I however can connect to MSN using trillian. I would rather use gaim, but because it won't connect I am stuck using trillian for msn. I am not even sure this is a bug, but I'm not getting any help in the support threads, so I decided to open it in here opening some the developers would have an idea. Here is the error I am getting. Connection error from Notification server: Reading error Here is the debug log: gtkappbar: wnd_poschanging account: Connecting to account [EMAIL PROTECTED] connection: Connecting. gc = 01800030 msn: new httpconn (01824068) dnsquery: Performing DNS lookup for messenger.hotmail.com gtkappbar: wnd_poschanging dnsquery: IP resolved for messenger.hotmail.com proxy: Attempting connection to 65.54.239.80 proxy: Connecting to messenger.hotmail.com:1863 with no proxy proxy: Connection in progress proxy: Connected. msn: C: NS 000: VER 1 MSNP9 MSNP8 CVR0 msn: S: NS 000: VER 1 MSNP9 MSNP8 CVR0 msn: C: NS 000: CVR 2 0x0409 winnt 5.1 i386 MSNMSGR 6.0.0602 MSMSGS [EMAIL PROTECTED] msn: S: NS 000: CVR 2 7.5.0324 7.5.0324 6.2.0208 http://msgr.dlservice.microsoft.com/download/5/a/8/5a892c0f-5b87-4767-8927-6fe5d8cfc582/Install_MSN_Messenger.exe http://messenger.msn.com msn: C: NS 000: USR 3 TWN I [EMAIL PROTECTED] msn: servconn read error, len: 0 error: Windows socket error #10036 msn: Connection error from Notification server (messenger.hotmail.com): Reading error msn: C: NS 000: OUT account: Disconnecting account 00CA9E50 connection: Disconnecting connection 01800030 msn: destroy httpconn (01824068) connection: Destroying connection 01800030 util: Writing file prefs.xml to directory C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\.gaim Any help would be greatly appreciated, or even a patch to fix this. This has been occuring for a while now even with the new Beta 6, but basically has been happening since beta 2.x came out. Is it the version of MSN gaim is based on compared to what trillian is based on?

I can add the following details: - The errors occurs both on a Linux version of client & Windows version - I ran wireshark on the connection to the proxy using Gaim and after that MSN. The corporate FW chucks me out because I am attempting to initiate a connection to port 1863 (or 1683 I cannot remember) using SSL when only port 443 is allowed. Granted, this could be just an issue with how IT has set the FW in my company, but the trace using MSN client shows that it connects to a totally different server using port 443 and then starts communicating through HTTP to the MSN http gateway. I hope this can help.

I reinstall gaim. If I mark "run gaim" after the installation, gaim will connect to msn however: If I close gaim or reboot my computer etc. gaim wont connect to msn. this problem ocurres if I use gaim1.5 2.0beta3 and 2.0beta6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: ravennolonger (ravennolonger) Date: 2007-03-15 14:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1704494 Originator: YES Anyone have any updates on this, or a workaround? Still puzzeled why Trillian works and Gaim does not. Is there a way to get gaim updated to the same version of MSN that Trillian is using to test if it's a version of MSN that is the problem (possible version blocking at the firewall?)? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Dave Bell (pensivecynic) Date: 2007-02-25 20:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=888410 Originator: NO if it helps at all for me that exact error occurs only when I'm behind the corporate firewall. At home GAIM connects. Trillian and native MSN messenger both work fine from behind the firewall. Started noticing this some time around 2.0beta2-3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: jaygeeboy (jaygeeboy) Date: 2007-01-30 21:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1705888 Originator: NO I got the exact same problem with gaim 1.5.0 I'm under Slackware 11.0 and I compile gaim from source. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: ravennolonger (ravennolonger) Date: 2007-01-30 15:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1704494 Originator: YES Any idea why Trillian works where as gaim does not? Or anything idea how to fix this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Date: 2007-01-30 14:58 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=325843 Originator: NO At first, I thought that the the "Windows socket error #10036" was actually the problem, but it turns out that is just the old contents of 'errno' - since 'len' is 0, it doesn't apply. It looks like he server is simply hanging up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100235&aid=1647600&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
