Can you tell us which IRC server you're trying to connect to and provide the contents of the debug window after your connection attempt has timed out. Make sure you don't post anything sensitive, like passwords, user ID or anything similar. Can you connect with a different IRC client? Are you behind a restrictive firewall? All these things are needed for us to come up with any sensible advice. -- Brian Morrison ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Provide the correct address for the server, or open the firewall for connections to that server. I would suggest that the most common cause of timed out connections is firewalls set to silently drop traffic that they don't like. -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.

Re: connection time out
Thank you for your reply, but I checked the firewall and even tried it with the firewall off but I the connection still times out. I am using the server irc.freenode.net.

Pidgin connection time out error to Facebook
Hi Support, I am hoping you can help me. I had Pidgin on my machine a few months back but could never get it to work so I uninstalled it. Now though I have decided to give it another try. However I still cannot get it to connect to my Facebook account. Even though I have set it to no proxy within the accounts.xml file I can see settings for the proxy setting: none dublinsbs 8080 alchemysoftware\annmarie W0rldR3cord Note the password which is stored in that file would have been my password a few months ago when I was trying to get it to work previously with plugin pidgin-facebookchat-1.67.exe Note now though I have it set up to use the XMPP. I have attached the screenshots of my settings. I know you do not use the registry, and I have tried to find this password in my cache, but to no avail. Other errors in the log indicate I am still using a proxy even though I have set it to no proxy: (17:33:49) proxy: Error connecting to chat.facebook.com:5222 (Connection timed out.). (17:33:49) proxy: Connection attempt failed: Connection timed out. (17:33:49) jabber: Couldn't connect directly to chat.facebook.com. Trying to find alternative connection methods, like BOSH. (17:33:49) dnssrv: querying TXT record for chat.facebook.com: _xmppconnect.chat.facebook.com (17:33:50) dnssrv: Couldn't look up TXT record. DNS server failure. (9002).

Please reply to the mailing list instead of to me directly. I can't speak about your network configuration, but it sounds likely that you do need to use a proxy (depending on your proxy configuration you may or may not be able to connect through it). If you choose a proxy type other than "None" in your account configuration you'll be able to specify the appropriate username/password for that proxy. -D >> Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2010 13:53:58 -0400 >> Subject: Re: Pidgin connection time out error to Facebook >> From: datal...@pidgin.im >> To: ann_marie_engl...@hotmail.com >> >> On Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 12:35, Ann Marie English >> wrote: >> > Hi Support, >> > >> > I am hoping you can help me. >> > I had Pidgin on my machine a few months back but could never get it to >> > work >> > so I uninstalled it. >> > Now though I have decided to give it another try. >> > >> > However I still cannot get it to connect to my Facebook account.
