Hi,

Just read that on the list archives:

http://pidgin.im/pipermail/support/2008-July/001514.html

Apparently I have that problem for Pidgin 2.2.2 on FreeBSD 7.0.

Pidgin can not connect to MSN network, returns error message:

--- cut
Unable to authenticate: Unable to connect

Pidgin will not attempt to reconnect the account until you correct the
error and re-enable the account.
--- cut

I will try to update to 2.4.3 since it worked fine with MSN network on
a Windows XP I have used yesterday. Is there anyone on this list
running Pidgin 2.4.3 on FreeBSD, how did you install, packages or
ports?
