           Summary: MSN connectivity problems behind firewall
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: Matthew.Williams intec-telecom-systems com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

If I try and use Kopete to connect to MSN from behind my corporate firewall, I 
get connection problems when trying to talk to people that are not using Kopete 
as well, such as if the other contact is using the Microsoft client or 
Trillian. 

If I open a chat window to a contact using a different client, I get the 
following message in the chat window;

         <Contact> has left the chat (connection closed).

and on the stderr, kopete prints the following;

         kopete (msn): WARNING: [void MSNSocket::slotSocketError(int)] Error: 
17 (remote host closed connection)

This problem isn't seen if the other contact is using Kopete as well.

I also don't see this problem if I use the same laptop, connecting via my home 
broadband connection, which makes me think it is an interaction problem between 
the firewall here and Kopete. 

However, people using other clients, such as Gaim under Linux or Trillian or 
the Microsoft client under Windows don't see any problems from behind our 
firewall.
