IM and other connection problems
After changing my ADSL router I was almost unable to connect to any server from my Linux (Ubuntu Dapper) machines, although with Windows there was no such problem. Disableing IPv6 in /etc/modprobe.d/alisases solved most of the problems. Now I can again access websites, but I am still having problem with some other services, particularly with connecting to the MSN and Google Talk networks using Gaim.
If I just start Gaim, both fail to connect. If I ping the Google Talk server (specified in the account's properties) prior to the login attempt, login succeeds. If I do the same with the MSN server I still fail to connect.
Why do these problems still happen and how can I solve them?
