Replying to [comment:2 datallah]:
> This is probably because you have set your default gateway on the remote
network and pidgin is routing traffic through your work network. The
native MSN client will automatically fall back to using a restricted
network mode, but pidgin doesn't do this automatically.

> Your best bet is to change your vpn connection settings not to route all
traffic through the remote network; if that isn't possible set your MSN
account in pidgin to use the "HTTP Method" via the checkbox in your
account settings.
Thank you for this suggestion. It is now working for my MSN connection,
but I am unable to set this option for googletalk. Is there an equivalent
setting for googletalk? I had a look around but I could not find one.
Thanks,
James
