trouble connecting ichat with jabber

Having trouble using Jabber software in Ichat. Cant seem to connect to my clients or my gmail account. I am on 10.5.8 I use Verizon to connect to the net.


Im works and Bonjour works. But nothing with Jabber.


Any suggestions?

Hi,


You did this ?

Opened iChat

Went to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts and used the Plus button.

In here you chose Google in the drop down at the top item ?

You added your Google ID exactly as it appears when you login to the Web Mail page ? (it makes a difference between @gmail.com and @googlemail.com)


You have enable Talk on your Google Account ?


If you check now, the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Server settings tab for the Google account lists talk.google.com as the server and is using SSL and therefore port 5223 ?


You have added Google Buddies with the "right suffix" to their IDs in the list ?

HI,


So it is not a Google Mail ID ending in @gmail.com or @googlemail.com


It is my understanding that only Google Mail accounts can be used as GoogleTalk IDs.

I am not aware that others can still be used as Jabber IDs.


In iChat > Preferences > Accounts > the jabber account in question go to the Server Settings tab.

Does this read that the server is moolala.com ?

You could try changing it to talk.google.com

Hi,


Glad it helped.


(I also had the Hosts edit your personal info as these pages can be searched from the outside - it's how Google display threads)
