Hello. Over the past 2 months I've been unable to connect to my chat accounts on Yahoo, AIM and MSN. All three have different errors and symptoms. My GoogleChat accounts function fine in Pidgin (v2.5.2) on Windows XP.
Here is a brief review of what I am seeing: Upon starting Pidgin, GoogleChat logs in no problem, but all three other accounts instantly fail to connect. The errors specified in the bottom notification area are: <yahoo account>: user disconnected Lost connection with server: Remote host closed connection <aol account>: user disconnected Lost connection with server: Remote host closed connection <msn account>: user disconnected Connection error from Notification server: Writing error Pidgin will continue throughout the day to attempt to reconnect to these accounts, and on occasion it succeeds in connecting to my yahoo chat account. However, as soon as I enter a message and send it, it disconnected with the same error as specified above and the message never gets sent. There have been no changes in my firewall, and I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out what the issue is. Can anyone help? I would be happy to provide any additional information if it will help. Thank you. - Tobias
