Dear Pidgin Support,
[email protected] is a peer support public mailing list.
I installed Pidgin 2.7.9 to act as my client for Windows Live (MSN) chat. When I run the app I get a the following error message “Connection error from Notification server: Connection timed out.” I use the same account via the Windows Live client, which is an abomination. Does Pidgin support this chat protocol?
It's an alternative branding for MSN, so yes. What do you get when you enable the debug window? Are you anywhere like an office, which might have restricted internet access, and therefore require proxies, etc. configuring. Connection timeout does tend to suggest a firewall, which is dropping, rather than rejecting, so preventing a prompt detection of a problem.
