Comment (by datallah):

 Replying to [comment:2 fmarkos]:
 > So the messages are not delivered according to username but according to
 what?
 > This might be a Bonjour limitation. If yes, pidgin shouldn't allow you
 to run multiple instances on the same server. (At least it should warn
 you)
 > This is a weird behavior. I wish I could trace it's logic, because the
 messages seem to be going to a random user each time. I wonder what rules
 it follows to behave like that.

 Actually, Bonjour presences are in the form of `username at machinename`, so
 it seems like it should be possible to make it work, I need to do some
 more digging.  Basically each user runs a separate local server on a
 different port, so either the wrong port is getting advertised, or we're
 connecting to the wrong port when sending a message to the user.

 When one of the Mac users (using iChat) tries to initiate a chat with one
 of the Pidgin users, does that work consistently?


 > On another subject: Does anyone know which TCP/UDP ports I need to
 forward in my router so pidgin can work with bonjour?

 I'm not sure what you mean here.  Bonjour only works on your local
 network, your router isn't a factor and you don't need to forward any
 ports (where would you forward them to?).
