Description edajai 2009-02-17 04:47:35 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
i tried creating a new Google Talk account. I wasn't able to connect (it showed a "Network Error"). Then i tried importing the account from Pidgin. Still facing the same problem.
I had the same problem with Empathy 2.24.1 also.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create new gtalk account
2. try to connect



Actual results:
Empathy displays "xxxx@gmail.com Network Error".

Expected results:
My contacts should be displayed

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
i'm behind a proxy server. But i have no problem connecting to gtalk through Pidgin

How is your proxy configured?  Would you be in the same situation as bug 563203 ?
Comment 2 edajai 2009-03-02 04:47:07 UTC 
no, i'm not using AutoProxy as described in bug 563203. I've manually entered the proxy settings , ie host ip and port number in Network Proxy under System>Preferences.
Comment 3 Guillaume Desmottes 2009-03-20 11:06:32 UTC 
Why kind of proxy are you using?
HTTP? HTTP secure? FTP? SOCKS?
Comment 4 David Ojeda 2009-03-25 19:16:43 UTC 
I have the same problem, maybe I can provide more info so this bug is fixed.

I am behind a firewall as well. HTTP thru port 8080, I have tried configuring the proxy using gnome settings, but I can't still connect to gtalk.

I have tried talk.google.com:5223 with old SSL, and talk.google.com:80 without old SSL.

Thanks for your time

Empathy basically doesn't support any kind of proxy atm. Closing this bug as a
dup of bug #602824 for now. We'll reconsider specific case once we'll have
generic proxy support working.
