I should add that other people who try and use Kopete behind our network are seeing similar problems. Can you paste the debug that happen before the disconection ? The message; kopete (msn): WARNING: [void MSNSocket::slotSocketError(int)] Error: 17 (remote host closed connection) is the only message I see on stderr when I just run 'kopete' and open the chat window. Is there a flag I can give to kopete to produce more verbose output? 'kopete --help' doesn't seem to suggest anything obvious. I get the same thing. I get bug #123726 quite a bit as well. kopete 11.3 (kde 3.5.4) in debian. I should also not that I do not see any MSN issues with GAIM on the same machine. Any news on this ? This still happens with Kopete on Kubuntu Feisty, see : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdenetwork/+bug/53336. I can't connect at all with MSN when I am behind the firewall with neither Kopete 0.50.1 or 0.12.7. It does not work with HTTP method enabled either. Could this be a related problem? Any information on what firewall is being used where you work? Problems with "some firewall" are hard to debug. Unfortunately I no longer work at the same company so am unable to reproduce this bug any more. I have same probelm in my company. Kopet is not connecting to MSN but pidgin can connect to MSN in same pc, same network The err message is: There was an error while connecting to the MSN server. Error message: Unable to lookup gateway.messenger.hotmail.com Kopet is working fine at home We've completely replaced the current MSN implementation with a new MSN implementation which If you continue to experience this bug after testing the new implementation (which can be gotten from our subversion repository or with the KDE 4.2 Beta 1 release), PLEASE, open a new bug rather than reopening this bug. Thank you for your time and efforting in helping us find and fix problems in Kopete. |
Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.2) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux If I try and use Kopete to connect to MSN from behind my corporate firewall, I get connection problems when trying to talk to people that are not using Kopete as well, such as if the other contact is using the Microsoft client or Trillian. If I open a chat window to a contact using a different client, I get the following message in the chat window; <Contact> has left the chat (connection closed). and on the stderr, kopete prints the following; kopete (msn): WARNING: [void MSNSocket::slotSocketError(int)] Error: 17 (remote host closed connection) This problem isn't seen if the other contact is using Kopete as well. I also don't see this problem if I use the same laptop, connecting via my home broadband connection, which makes me think it is an interaction problem between the firewall here and Kopete. However, people using other clients, such as Gaim under Linux or Trillian or the Microsoft client under Windows don't see any problems from behind our firewall.
