Component:  Google Talk  |   Version:  2.5.8

 System Desc:
 ============
 - Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop version;
 - HP 6730s laptop with 2 Gigs RAM;
 - Pidgin 2.5.8;
 - Vodafone router.

 Bug:
 ====
 For more than one week now I have been trying to login to my google talk
 account and every time it fails. Attached is the error produced.


 Steps taken:
 ============

 1) I checked the latest bugs, and I found a ticket for a similar bug, and
 a link to disabling router to act as DNS, but I tried to login using:

 fring 3.37.20 (12/03/2009)
 on
 Nokia E51, 200.34.36 (24-4-2008)

 and it worked like a charm..

 2) I double checked my password on pidgin and logged in from www.gmail.com
 using firefox, and again everything was OK.

 3) I tried:
 - removing and adding the account
 - disabling yahoo and msn accounts and solely try google's account

 N.B:
 - I used the same Vodafone router for all my logins.
 - The same bug is reproduced on CentOS 5.3 32 bit, with pidgin 2.5.5-3
 - I noticed a trailing slash "/" at the end of google's account whenever I
 create it. This is not found in both yahoo or msn accounts

 All the best,
 Angie
