Pidgin on multiple machines

[Paulo Ribeiro]

Hello Randy,

It is the Jabber server that decides what happens when you connect from 
another location.

You can try setting different values in the Resource field in the 
account settings of the different clients, because some Jabber servers 
may allow multiple connections as long as the Resource value is different.
