Comment:

 Where do you see a mistyped password? Am I sending you my password with
 the log? I'll send you a workind pidgin log with anouther attachement.

 I changed back  "Connect server" field to "10.31.2.13" and it doesn't
 connect to the server again.

 I checked the server log and it doesn't even see Pidgin trying to connect
 to it, even if the pidgin log says it is connecting the server doesn't
 even see pidgin trying to connect.

 Here is the log of a ok connection, when in "Connect server" field I put
 "server3" and assing in my hosts file that servere3=10.31.2.13

 Is this maybe a DNS error? Does my DNS server maybe has something to do
 with this? Why does Pidgin even tries to resolve "10.31.2.13" when that is
 the IP address that doesn't need to be resolved, it should just go to that
 IP address and connect. Right?

 Is there something else I can do to help you and solve this bug?
