 Replying to [comment:9 koms1016]:
 > Even hard coding the IP doesn't work me...still get the same unable to
 connect errors. Doesn't make sense because if the native apps can connect,
 then Pidgin should also.

 It depends what sort of network problem is causing the inability to
 connect.  If it is DNS problem, the change the IP would be an easy
 solution.

 It does make sense that the native clients can connect, but pidgin can't;
 in many cases, the native clients contain one or more fallback mechanisms
 where they try different ports or even different protocols to communicate
 with the server in restricted network scenarios.
