This almost looks like a network/firewall/router/content filtering problem of some sort. Are you able to connect to other XMPP servers? Is it possible some corporate or school firewall is blocking outgoing connections to port 5222? Or maybe a local software firewall is blocking it?
FYI my Facebook account is currently hanging while connecting. It's possible our problems are related and Facebook's XMPP servers are having problems. _______________________________________________ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
