Comment (by swgoddess):

 Well, I did actually put the IP in as the connect server and it took some
 playing around and googling for ideas to get it to work. But get it to
 work I did.

 I did not assume idiocy, btw. I don't do networking stuff for a living, I
 assumed you'd all actually know how it works and be able to actually
 provide concrete help for those of us that don't deal with server level
 stuff every day. XMPP is outside my area of expertise and I don't really
 want it inside my area of expertise. I just do real time embedded control
 systems (hardware/firmware) and I'm used to having to design for the
 idiots. That was more my point. Some of us are fairly ignorant and need to
 be accounted for. When it came to looking for already entered bug reports
 even after reading about how to set up a custom query I did not find the
 closed defect that I was duplicating, and once you all pointed it out to
 me and doing what it had said to do I still couldn't get things working
 and I can read government rfp's and understand them, so I'm not quite a
 moron (although with govt docs and specifications it would probably help).
 I'm very computer literate, I could design you one from the mobo up, I'm
 just not into the client/server thing. That's what you guys do (and I use
 guys generically, it's not an assumption of maleness, hell, as a female
 electrical engineer I'm quite used to being called dude). I expect you to
 know how.

 Keep in mind that old is a way of life out here. I do read release notes,
 and they gave me no clue whatsoever about what was going on. Some people
 are hesitant to upgrade anything because it always causes a compatibility
 nightmare with other things. Admins as well as users. Yeah, the tech
 community has a tendency to jump on all things new and shiny, but some of
 us are old and not as willing to live with the nightmare of conflicting
 versions of x, y, and z as we used to be. Life is increasing ly short.

 Anyway, that's my form of an apology with a caveat. :) You try being in
 the middle of updating corporate design process and procedures that has
 been going on for 6 months while your newly developed hardware sits and
 waits for your priorities to be revised again. It makes for a bad mood.
