Are you using the MSN - Advanced - Use Http method here? Can you confirm the address you have in the block for http method. I have
gateway.messenger.hotmail.com It looks like yours is not using http method. >From my debug without http method 11:55:39) connection: Connecting. gc = 0xa75c800 (11:55:39) msn: new httpconn (0xa7e8068) (11:55:39) dns: DNS query for 'messenger.hotmail.com' queued (11:55:39) dns: Created new DNS child 9035, there are now 1 children.

I can also see that my messenger.hotmail.com resolves to 65.54.239.210 while yours is resolving to 65.54.239.20 This could be a regional thing as both of those addresses are listening on port 1863 (test by telnet 65.54.239.20 1863) With this being said - does your network block outgoing to 65.54.239.20 on port 1863? If so, try and use the http method and lets look at the debug log. -- Intrepid: Pidgin can't connect to MSN - lack of TLS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263293 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
