Hi all,
I just tried Pidgin out for the first time on my work computer and enjoyed it
enough to convert from Trillian for my personal desktop.
When installing on my desktop, I got an error message that roughly stated,
"Unable to connect to server" when trying to install the English aspell
feature. After clicking "retry" several times, I finally decided to just skip
that feature by clicking "cancel".
Pidgin finished installing, began running, and asked for my account details. I
setup AIM, Yahoo and MSN, but surprisingly all 3 of them could not connect.
Please note that there were no other programs running besides Pidgin. Also,
there was no firewall (windows or otherwise) running either. I tried running
it both behind my router as well as directly connected to my cable modem.
After failing with all the configurations above, I booted up my work laptop and
successfully connected with Pidgin immediately. For whatever reason, only my
desktop is affected.
I tried reinstalling Pidgin about 10 times, each with the same aspell
connection issue during install, as well as the account sign in issues when
running Pidgin. I installed the GTK version Pidgin came with, so I don't
believe that's a potential pitfall.
Any help is much appreciated. I searched for information on this issue without
any success.
Windows XP, SP2.
Thanks,
Evan
