I have Pidgin 2.6.2 (libpurple 2.6.2) on ubuntu 9.10. My ISP gave me a
new ADSL modem-router [1] and since I have the following.
1) I have the XMPP (jabber) account disabled.
2) I enable it and I get the following debug info [2].
3) somewhere at (14:42:29) the router freezes completely. It freezes so
badly that I can't log into it, even if I unplug/replug the ethernet
cables. The only option to make it work again is to close it and open it
again.

This is almost certainly the cause of both your account not working,
and 3). Your router is proxying DNS, and does not understand DNS SRV.
This is an unfortunately common problem, although one which has become
less prevalent in the past couple of years.
Hi and sorry for bouncing this thread. I am trying to figure out whether
my modem-router has issues with DNS in general, or there is a specific
issue with the jabber server I connect to.
--------------------------------------------
To check the DNS SRV, I try the following:
$ host -t SRV _xmpp-client._tcp.gmail.com
_xmpp-client._tcp.gmail.com has SRV record 20 0 5222 talk1.l.google.com.
_xmpp-client._tcp.gmail.com has SRV record 20 0 5222 talk2.l.google.com.
_xmpp-client._tcp.gmail.com has SRV record 5 0 5222 talk.l.google.com.
_xmpp-client._tcp.gmail.com has SRV record 20 0 5222 talk3.l.google.com.
_xmpp-client._tcp.gmail.com has SRV record 20 0 5222 talk4.l.google.com.
$ host -t SRV _xmpp-client._tcp.jabber.org
_xmpp-client._tcp.jabber.org has SRV record 30 30 5222 hermes.jabber.org.
$ host -t SRV _xmpp-client._tcp.gristle.org
Host _xmpp-client._tcp.gristle.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
I get the same results using google's DNS (8.8.8.8)
The 1st, 2nd result looks good, the last not so good. I am not much into
network stuff, so I don't know how to interpret this info
correctly.
In both cases router does not freak out.
--------------------------------------------
To check the account, I registered a new account on jabber.org and then
added the account on pidgin (including the password). I then get:
(19:57:58) account: Connecting to account l...@jabber.org/pidgin.
(19:57:58) connection: Connecting. gc = 0x1be0700

(19:58:03) util: Writing file accounts.xml to directory /home/lala/.purple

Then router freaks out again.
