The main reason for asking for network details is the possibility of 
firewalls (probably if you are using a company account) and "transparent 
proxies" (common on mass market consumer accounts) - the former being 
more likely to be a problem.

Googling your symptoms, most reports have been closed out because of a 
failure of the reporter to provide debugging information.  One has been 
closed out because the developer couldn't reproduce it.  Consequently as 
much debug information as possible is desirable, although I suspect the 
developers may be overwhelmed by Wireshark data.  They will certainly 
want Pidgin debug log data.

Unless you can tie down the first step in the failure, I imagine they 
will want from start up until the first symptom.

Remember this is a public mailing list, so obfuscate (as little as 
possible) and sensitive information. (For that reason, I wouldn't 
provide pcap files unless and until a developer asks for them as private 
email.)

Note, it is possible that there is an open bug report that I failed to find.
