This would work if you were connected directly to the internet, had external inbound ports mapped to your machine or had a working file transfer proxy specified (this needs to be done manually because the google servers don't provide one). The previous default manual file transfer proxy (proxy.jabber.org) doesn't work, you can try "proxy.eu.jabber.org". In 2.6.0, when in-band transfers work, this scenario should work out of the box (granted it will be slow because the transfer will go through the servers). -D _______________________________________________ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
