Installing/Running Gaim and EasyUbuntu

[Tony Brow]

Hi Ubuntun people,

This "Gaim" program has still got me bluffed and I keep on getting the
warning about invalid proxy settings  referring to hostname and or port
number.
When opening the 'Gaim' window, there was Yahoo shown as server, but
there was also was the choice of others like MSN, AIM etc. No Matter
what I try with the settings, I cannot get it going. What name do I
use ? The name of my ISP and or what port number ? Further the " invalid
proxy settings sign keeps on jumping up on the desktop, driving me nuts,
no matter what other program I look at.

Thanks again for any assistance with this

Tony
