#2839: Pidgin can't resolve AIM server DNS lookup
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  johnhab       |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new           |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  pidgin (gtk)  |    Version:  2.1.1 
 Keywords:                |    Pending:  0     
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 I installed 2.1.1 a couple days ago and it was working fine (I connect to
 MSIM, YIM, GWIM, GT and AIM), but now it can't connect to AIM. I try to
 connect and I get "Could not connect to authentication server: Windows
 socket error #10060". But the debug log says it can't do the DNSlookup for
 login.oscar.aol.com. Even if I put in IPs for the Oscar servers
 (152.163.241.120, .128, .24, .28 if correct from a list I found from a
 websearch) in the AIM login config, I still get the 10060 error.

 Is this AOL trying to shut AIM out to non-proprietary clients? Thx. John.
