Yahoo and Gmail are working fine. MSN messenger on the same machine connects to the service fine, but Pidgin says "connection error from notification server: Unable to connect" Some update from the developers on this would be useful. comment:4 Changed 7 years ago by khc this means that you cannot connect to that domain, are you behind some firewall that requires you to use a proxy? comment:5 Changed 7 years ago by alainkaa Same problem here, I haven't made any changes to the preferences recently.

This issue occurs in both my Ubuntu 12.04 machine and my WIn7 machine. Trillian on my windows machine connects just fine to MSN, so I dont suspect a network issue. My settings are: messenger.hotmail.com Port: 1863 Proxy type. Use environmental settings The connection error from "use HTTP method option results in it actually trying to connect, but it never does, it just says "connecting.....". I have attempted to change just about every other setting, with no luck. What could be going on? connection pidgin msn share|improve this question asked Dec 15 '14 at 0:52 Banquo 2113 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote If I were to guess, I'd say it stopped working slightly more than 6 weeks ago, when the MSN messenger network was closed down, so I don't know what Trillian is connecting to. Microsoft wants you to move to skype, which is available for ubuntu, and you should be able to log in using the same microsoft account and find all your friends still there. share|improve this answer answered Dec 15 '14 at 1:04 Sir Substance 1466 Aren't I just with the times. :/ Idon't suppose there is a way to get skype on pidgin without the skype client runnning. –Banquo Dec 15 '14 at 3:18 and very odd my trillian client still connects –Banquo Dec 15 '14 at 3:21 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote Microsoft keeps shutting down "unofficial" methods of access and applications - of which Pidgin is one.

connect it, it comes up with the following error: "Connection error from notification server: Unable to connect" I have tried using the HTTP method, but that also comes up with an error. Kopete works fine, but I want to use pidgin instead. Any help will be appreciated.

Also, are you behind a firewall that requires you to use a proxy to connect to MSN? DMzda (maz-ibrahim) said on 2008-08-02: #2 The server is: messenger.hotmail.com The port is: 1863 I am not sure about the third question, but I use ntlmaps to connect to an ISA proxy for other internet applications. Thanks. Guillaume Tremblay Beaumont (guizzy) said on 2008-08-02: #3 Well, you have the right server settings, so it's not that. Assuming it you've got the right login info, it is very likely to be related to your proxy. I am not too knowledgeable about ntlmaps, so I'm not too sure what I'm about to say is going to be much of a help. Let's check first if the port is really blocked. Try this: open up a terminal and run the following command: telnet messenger.hotmail.com 1863 What do you get when you try this? My theory is that KDE has its own proxy settings for its applications, so while Kopete might have worked without you needing to configure your proxy, it's not necessarily the case for Pidgin. If you know it, try entering your proxy info in Pidgin and see if that works. DMzda (maz-ibrahim) said on 2008-08-02: #4 It comes up with: telnet messenger.hotmail.com 1863 Trying 65.54.239.20...
