--current, pidgin can't connect to google talk or google via xmpp


Perhaps this is an issue on my end.

I cannot get a connection to google talk from either the google-talk drop down setup in pidgin accounts or from xmpp in pidgin drop down.

My ~/.purple directory is the same as my last known good working backup from a while ago. So I don't think this is a client side issue, but I can be wrong.

I've turned of iptables as a test, and still no luck.

Any other suggestions?

You're not signed in, in more than one place are you? Such as in gmail, another PC ....

Here, pidgin and Google Talk will not always work properly on my laptop, if I'm signed into pidgin on my PC.

I believe it's not Slackware-related problem. Check this link:
