Cannot connect to XMPP through AT&T internet

Sat Aug 18 18:08:51 EDT 2012

So I'm having problems connecting to Jabber through Pidgin via AT&T
internet. I'm not sure why, never encountered this before, but here are the
logs. Can anyone make any sense of this? I have flushed the DNS but this
did not help. Is that what would fix the problem, though? I have an AT&T
router which does not allow DNS configuration so I can't use OpenDNS
either. Here are the logs if anyone can make sense of it:

and also my command prompt SRV lookup came back with this:

I have no idea what to do to connect. While at another house on a different
ISP pidgin connected to jabber just fine. As I said, AT&T doesn't allow DNS
config on my router so that's out of the question. I don't know how to set
up a BOSH proxy or anything else either. Why won't it connect and what can
I do about it? Currently, I can only connect to AIM through pidgin, and MSN
and Yahoo refuse to connect as well, but it's Jabber that's getting to me.
