Who runs or owns the im.dpfox.net server? Is it a corporate server
(instead of a public service)? If it is a corporate server then it may
be locked down so that only users on a corporate computer or on the
corporate network can access it.

I note that the server has a web page here, http://im.dpfox.net/ (with a
link to a publicly accessible Openfire admin login page!), but that does
not necessarily mean that access to the IM protocols are allowed for
non-corporate computers or from non-corporate networks.

If im.dpfox.net is a corporate server then I would suggest contacting
your corporate IT staff to confirm the correct settings for home access
to the chat server.
