Hello Randy,

It is the Jabber server that decides what happens when you connect from another location.

You can try setting different values in the Resource field in the account settings of the different clients, because some Jabber servers may allow multiple connections as long as the Resource value is different.

It is an internal Jabber server at our company. Pidgin shows the below
message on my first machine when I go to a second machine.

You need to ask the operator of the service.  Pidgin, itself, is not
aware that you are using the same account on different machines.

If you tell us the service, someone may know if it is a known limitation
of that service.

that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
