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 On Mon, 2007-02-19 at 23:40 +1030, Karl Goetz wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE> Tony Brow wrote: > Hello Karl, > > Wish I knew what is causing the error.
