Re: Configuration Pidgin for LAN
Fortune Investment wrote: */I am using 7 PC in my small office.

Are you saying how do you configure Pidgin to provide instant messaging locally, but without using any other server or service? Pidgin is basically a client, and needs a server. Most people running private IM services use XMPP based servers. You will either have to nominate one of the user PCs to run the server, or you will need a dedicated machine. I can't imagine that you need a very powerful machine. My guess is that a 20 year old desktop will have enough CPU power, although you may need to upgrade to 10 year old for memory, as most may be designed for a bloated environment. I can't rule out the possibility of a Pidgin plugin that operates as a fully distributed IM service implementation, but I can say it must be pretty uncommon to use it. If you just want to use a public service (NB at least some do not allow business use) then the question has to be which service and what firewalling and NAT is being done by the router. -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.

If there is a port of VNC to iphone/ipad, you could run a VNC server (NB not a web server), on a Unix-like box, or possibly even under Cygwin. You may find the network traffic levels are unacceptable given mobile internet prices. Actually, as there is a Java port of VNC, I assume you could definitely use a VNC solution. If there is a X-Server for IOS, you could also use that to access the X-Windows version of Pidgin, although there would be similar network bandwidth issues, possibly worse, and greater security issues. Would this allow for GPL development, etc and get this functionality out to people? Don't see how it would affect GPL development, and the network bandwidth might make the solution financially unacceptable, except over WiFi from a fixed network. -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.

What would probably help is if you could provide a legal copy of the relevant protocol specification document (which I suspect is impossible, as I don't believe that Microsoft would give permission for such use) or you could provide detailed reverse engineering details on the protocol exchanges when the official client adds such a buddy.

What seems to have happened is that they agreed to support the MXi plugin, in return for having it as an official plugin, but the way they have supported it is by simply feeding the Pidgin mailing list into their help desk system. Unfortunately, they seem to have an industrialised help desk organisation that can't cope with such innovation, so they tend to send an auto response to From: addresses for people posting to the mailing list.

Re: kakao talk

Thanks The only references I can find with both Pidgin and KakaoTalk seem to be about Pidgin being an alternative IM client, not an alternative KakaoTalk client. Some of those seem to confuse clients and services. I cannot find any indication that there is a published, or even reverse engineered, protocol specification for KakaoTalk, nor any to Windows libraries to access it (although those would probably not be supported in the official Pidgin, even if they did exist). I'm not sure that I understand the KakaoTalk business model. It seems to have to do with selling Korean Telecom Gift cards. Without knowing more I don't know whether an an alternative client could undermine the business model. I get the impression that KakaoTalk is to Korea as MXit is to South Africa, but it may turn out that that similarity is only in respect of the platform and addressing. -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.

Why do people always end a request which contains far too little information to do anything, with: how can I fix this? For a start, it may be fixed already, you might be using an out of date version of the software; you haven't told us the version. Then again, it almost certainly only relates to one particular service, so knowing what that service was would help a lot. This one probably isn't a firewall problem, but you never know, so details of the network connectivity would be useful. Again it is probably not OS dependent, but some problems are. As you are certain they are really online, I presume you tried to check this with some other piece of software (otherwise the service may actually be telling everyone they are offline, and you need to talk to the service, or maybe the user, if they have set themselves in some sort of invisible mode).

Re: Using Pidgin with TOR
Ryan K wrote: TOR reports that Pidgin has a bug that results in DNS leaks when using What is TOR? I've never heard of a DNS leak before. Apparently it means that DNS is handled by the normal servers, rather than by those provided by some sort of anonymising proxy service. The presumption is, presumably, that the ISP, possibly at the behest of the government, is doing traffic flow analysis on you by analyzing your DNS requests, to your disadvantage. I'd be surprised if Pidgin uses anything other than standard OS services for DNS, so I'd suggest that this level of distrust of ISPs (and trust of the anonymising service) requires a deeper understanding of the complete system than the OP seems to have. I would suggest you would need to be using a completely open source system, and have a good understanding of how it all works. Maybe all it really means is that Pidgin uses DNS, presumably to validate addresses, or canonicalise them. XMPP. If I use Pidgin with only other Pidgin users, do I require XMPP. Can XMPP be disabled? XMPP can be disabled by removing the relevant plugin. You will lose the ability to access Facebook and Google instant messaging services, as well as most corporate ones. Of course, simply not using XMPP based services will mean that the XMPP code is never run, which will also avoid any DNS related code that it contains being run.
