Please reply to the mailing list instead of to me directly. I can't speak about your network configuration, but it sounds likely that you do need to use a proxy (depending on your proxy configuration you may or may not be able to connect through it). If you choose a proxy type other than "None" in your account configuration you'll be able to specify the appropriate username/password for that proxy. -D >> Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2010 13:53:58 -0400 >> Subject: Re: Pidgin connection time out error to Facebook >> From: [email protected] >> To: [email protected] >> >> On Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 12:35, Ann Marie English >> <[email protected]> wrote: >> > Hi Support, >> > >> > I am hoping you can help me. >> > I had Pidgin on my machine a few months back but could never get it to >> > work >> > so I uninstalled it. >> > Now though I have decided to give it another try. >> > >> > However I still cannot get it to connect to my Facebook account.
