Pidgin on multiple machines

[Randy Swineford]

It is an internal Jabber server at our company. Pidgin shows the below message on my first machine when I go to a second machine.

Those machines never seem to "renable" automatically - you have to do it manually. I use multiple machines and want my presence to move around as I switch between machines automatically. Is this possible?

You need to ask the operator of the service.  Pidgin, itself, is not aware that you are using the same account on different machines.

If you tell us the service, someone may know if it is a known limitation of that service.
