Comment (by malmostoso):

 2.4.1 here did not solve the problem. I am behind a quite restrictive
 proxy, but Miranda can connect using HTTP method. Here is the debug log
 (only the part relative to the connection):
 {{{

 Maybe this helps: I have tried pinging 207.46.96.154 and I can't access
 it:

 {{{
 C:\Program Files\Pidgin>ping 207.46.96.154

 Pinging 207.46.96.154 with 32 bytes of data:

 Request timed out.

 Ping statistics for 207.46.96.154:
     Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
 }}}

 Just ask for any additional info you might need. This is taken on WinXP
 but I also have a linux machine available (which does not connect either)
 if you think it might me easier to debug.
 Thanks for your help guys!
