little problem with gaim

citrus · 01-25-2004, 01:51 AM

was wondering what i should do about msn
it says protocol not supported
my icq works fine but my msn account will not connect

MSN stopped supporting third party tools for their messenger service. Wait for some time to see whether some one comes up with a plug-in for it.

What are you talking about? I"m using aMSN and GAIM and I can log in just fine.

Try upgrading GAIM to version 0.75.

i'm afraid you are not correct, Trillian cracked the new MSN encryption methods within 3 hours of it going live, and gaim had aquired this information from Trillian and had released a path within 12 hours.

Sure, Microsoft does't support third parties doesn't stop them working though.

Oh, I was not aware of this info. Any how, thanks acid_kewpie for correcting me..

I'm using slackware and gaim .75 on 3 seperate machines, no problems, just follow the directions given in the faq on gaims site

http://gaim.sourceforge.net/faq-ssl.php#q24
thats the gnutls info, follow that exactly and everything should work
