Description Ravindra Nath kakarla 2010-10-20 20:02:49 UTC 
Empathy doesn't recognize computer's internet connectivity. It depends on NetworkManager's nm-applet for the connection status. In case nm-applet crashes or computer is connected to internet by using other Network manager's, Empathy wont go online.

This is what I did.

I connected to internet using wvial. That does not turn the nm-applet's online status(It is  expected). Empathy reported No Network Connection. Whereas other applications Pidgin, Gwibber, Evolution naturally worked.
