Comment (by landroni):

 These are the settings that I initially had, that is by default. However,
 I do use a transparent proxy, as follows:

 {{{
 Proxy type: HTTP
 Host: <SERVER>
 Port: 3128
 }}}

 So the actual symptoms are as follows: on a random basis it connects to
 MSN, and on a same random basis it disconnects itself from MSN. Recently I
 almost never manage to connect myself. And I have tried all the
 suggestions posted.

 {{{

 So, is this a bug in the way Pidgin handles through-proxy connections?
