 > 1. Edit your Google Talk account[[BR]]
 > 2. Go to the "Advanced" tab[[BR]]
 > 3. Enable "Force old (port 5223) SSL"[[BR]]
 > 4. Set the connect port to 443[[BR]]
 > 5. Set the connect server to talk.google.com


 This solved the GTalk connection problems I have at work. If this works
 for most people, perhaps this should be the default option on (new) GTalk
 accounts?
