oops - hit "send" instead of "save" anyway - when i'm simply connected to my ISP, i can't connect to any of the following im services: Yahoo, MSN, AIM, or Google via XMPP (for my employer's domain).
The Empathy IM client seems to work, though somewhat intermittently. Pidgin, on the other hand, can't connect to any service - unless i connect to my employer's VPN. When connected only to my ISP, i can do dns lookups to all the IM servers with no problem. i'm getting my IP addr via DHCP from my Actiontec modem, which is configured to use Easytreet's DNS servers. i'm not running any firewall software. web browsing, ssh, mail, all work without a hitch. Searching the Ubuntu Forums (once again) hasn't been too helpful. Any pointers as to where this activity is getting logged on the system? -------- Original Message -------- Subject: odd Pidgin connectivity issues on Ubuntu Karmic Date: Thu, 07 Jan 2010 10:33:15 -0800 From: Joe Shisei Niski <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: General Linux/UNIX discussion and help; civil and on-topic <[email protected]> This one really has me scratching my head. Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit, Qwest DSL with Easystreet as my ISP. i use OpenVPN (via NetworkManager) to connect to my employer from home. i have no connectivity issues for any app, with or without the VPN, --- except for Pidgin (2.6.4). -- ________________________________________ Joe Shisei Niski Portland, Oregon, USA _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
