Connect Kopete throughout a proxy (or tunneling by http)

2009-12-26 Thread Michael Solís
Hello guys,

 I am in an university residence and all internet goes trought a proxy. But
if I try to use Pidgin it says that there an error in the connection. How
can I do for use Pidgin behind a proxy? I am using Opensuse 11.2 and
Firefox, Amarok, etc work well, but pidgin don't

Moreover once I read that exist a program called proxychain which can
tunelling connection throught http? Is that posible?
http://proxychains.sourceforge.net/

Thanks in advance for all your help
Bye

 Open up the main Pidgin window.

 Tools - Preferences - Proxy tab

 Enter in the type of proxy and the relevant details.

If the ports for IM are blocked then you'll have to get in touch with
the Universities network administrator and make a case for unblocking them.

I don't think anyone on here will be able to help you get around that
(sorry for the assumption, list)
