  1. Hi Vishal,
    I’m trying to set this up with Pidgin 2.6.4.  The account config screens look the same and I have done the setup for GTalk just as you have described here, but no matter what I try, I get an SSL Connection Failed error.  I am on a home network with no firewall.  Any ideas?
     
    Thanks,
    Doug
