Gaim behind a proxy

NZX — Mon, 07 Nov 2005 16:38:59 +0800

Hi guys....

Heres my problem. I wanna use Gaim to connec to MSN, YM and ICQ and it worked fine at home using streamyx. But now i bring the laptop to a place where i need to go thru a proxy server and it just wont work. Network is already setup and also firefox already functioning. But I try to config Gaim and it wont work. Its a HTTP proxy.

in Gaim i tried "use environment settings" also didnt work
i tried "HTTP proxy" and put in the apartments proxy adress and port
heres the error...
"Server doesnt allow tunneling on port 5050"
thats the default port for Yahoo Messenger. My proxy port is 3128.
I change the 5050 to 3128 also the same error msg accurs but ".tunneling on port 3128"
which is the same lar...

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!!

Hi guys...as u all may know. MPlayer website has been shut down. I require codecs for playing avi files. I have downloaded divx4linux and runned install.sh and all that does is screw up my system. mplayer cant play avi and it also cant play mpeg anymore which previously it can. Now it just displays a green screen but with sound using the xv option. x11 will play mpg but its choppy and slow. Any ideas?

I am running Ubuntu 4.10 Hoary Hedgehog.

Thanks guys.
