Empathy and Google Talk - Network Error

[starfunker]

I've tried to use my Google talk account with Empathy. I have put in my login and password, but empathy keeps saying 'network error'. I've tried various things (including using TLS/SSL) but nothing has worked.

Any ideas?

Anyone got any ideas?

Same here. I have never used Empathy before, so created a new Jabber account, but get only "Network Error".

I am using a WEP protected wireless connection, and whatever default firewall is. Have not checked it yet.

Well, I've just got it working. I deleted the google talk account from empathy. I then used my google talk id and password under the Jabber option instead, with the 'reuse an existing account' option ticked.

Seems to be working fine, which is strange.

I'm having the same problem as well. I've tries everything too. This blows man.

I also had this problem and I "fixed" it by filling in (correctly) my login ID as username@gmail.com instead of just username.

That's what worked for me.
