When you posted to this list a few days back, I beleive I'd sent a
pretty detailed reply, giving the settings for Pidgin.  I assume that
you might have missed that mail, in the multiple mails that you
received.  Kindly go through the mails and check the settings that
were given, as I am confident they will work.  They have always
worked, no matter what kind of network I was setting up Pidgin/Psi on.

In case you still have problems, _please try to get some screenshots_
of the errors, as I had requested in the earlier mail.  We can only
help you if you can provide us with the exact errors, otherwise all
the solutions will sound vague.

Also, if you are asking about voice chat in Gmail, then as of now,
Empathy is the only one that has reported any success on that front.
To do that, there are a few changes that you need to make, like adding
the personal package archive of Empathy from Launchpad.net, to get the
latest version.  However, if you are on a network which accesses the
internet through a proxy, it will not work, as it did not have support
for proxies, the last time I checked.
