Hi,

I'm facing some kind of problem I could not yet identify.
Installed Kopete (default version with Fedora Core 2) and tried to connect to MSN.
My account settings (user/password) are ok, I have no firewall up yet, but it does not connect (does not initiate session and throws an error like "conection time expired..").
Same problem happens with two other clients (gaim-amsn), so it seems to be a problem between my linux and MSN.

Is there any particular package required for this to work that I missed?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Ariel

thank you, I did what you recommend and got this output:
***********************
[ariel@todos ariel]$ netstat --inet -p | grep kopete
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all)
tcp 0 1 todos.silari.org:32938 messenger.hotmail.:1863 SYN_SENT 2609/kopete
***********************
It seems to me that the server is not fully correct, do you know how to set it to messenger.hotmail.com or the correct one?

Regards
Ariel

Hello,

I tried the change and did not succeed, I copy here my kopeterc with the suggested line, do you see any other parameter that should be changed?

Oops!

In my last post I didn't state that the output from de "netstat...." command remains the same than before adding the line to kopeterc file.

OK, thanks anyway.

Hi Seb,

I tried but it still times out when trying to connect to MSN server.

Any other idea will be welcome.

Best regards
