You should have SRV records for XMPP _xmpp-client._tcp 20 0 5222 yoursipxhostname
(Simply follow the same syntax for your sipx zone file in DNS. Instead of _sip._udp you are putting in _xmpp-client._tcp and instead of 5060, you are using 5222. If this is already done, then follow the pidgin setup instructions below. Don't get this confused with sip/simple on port 5060, it's full xmpp in pidgin). Alternately, is a jabber records supported at port 5269 with this openfire instance? I think openfire supports both xmpp and jabber. If it does, it would be ideal to include both in DNS by default. _jabber._tcp 20 0 5269 The associated SRV record(s) should point to your sipx server. Then you should be able to do almost any open IM client. Functionality is another thing, but it should work. 1. Download <http://pidgin.im/pidgin/home/> and install Pidgin (you do not need Administrator privileges to do this) 2. When you run the program for the first time, you will see a screen entitled *Buddy List* 3. Click on *Accounts* on the menu bar, and select *Manage*. This will launch a new window called *Accounts*. 4. Click on the *Add* button 5. Under *Protocol* select *XMPP* 6. In *Screen Name* type your University of Bath username 7. In *Domain* type yoursipxdomain.com 8. In *Resource* type your location (or anything else, like Home) 9. In *Password* type your password 10. In *Local Alias* enter the name you would like to appear next to your communications (usually first name + last name) 11. Optional step: Make sure that *Remember Password* is checked 12. Optional step: If you want to use a picture to appear as your "avatar<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_(computing)>", tick the box next to *Use this buddy icon for this account* and click on the icon that currently appears there. This will allow you to browse and select a new one. 13. Click *Save*. I might be wrong on this, because I've not done this with 4.1 (yet).
