Here&#39;s how I have it set up on Pidgin<br><br>Basic tab:<br><br>Screen name: username<br>Domain: <a href="http://mydomain.com">mydomain.com</a><br><br>Advanced tab:<br><br>all the check boxes are unchecked<br>Connect port: 5222<br>

Connect server: <a href="http://talk.google.com">talk.google.com</a><br>Use global proxy settings<br><br><br>And Kopete:<br><br>Add a new Jabber account. Enter your complete Mail address and corresponding password. Go to the Connection page of the dialog.<br>

<br>check &quot;Use protocol encryption (SSL)&quot; checkbox<br><br>check &quot;Allow plain-text password authentication&quot; checkbox<br><br>check &quot;override default server information&quot; checkbox<br><br>and set server to &quot;<a href="http://talk.google.com">talk.google.com</a>&quot; port 5223 (not 5222 as stated on their web site).<br>

<br>If you are behind a firewall and can&#39;t connect to the 5223 port you can use the 443 port (standard SSL port). You may need to restart Kopete to get the connection.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 11:08 AM, Junayeed Ahnaf Nirjhor <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:zombiegenerator@gmail.com">zombiegenerator@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>
