Well, for what it's worth I tried logging onto an AIM server for almost a day. Then I used an old AIM login I had, and it got it on the first try-- like a champ, so if anyone else has a workaround please post it..

Hey...first off I wanna thank you guys for the tutorial on GT. I was this close to buying IM+ but just KNEW there had to be a way to do it for free. Then I stumbled upon this thread. Perfect. Been using GT for a little while now and I really like it.

However...I can't see to get my Yahoo contacts ported over. I've found a couple different transports, put in my info, registration SAYS successful...but it doesn't show up in the list of registered transports and nothing happens with my contacts. Any ideas?

Also...is there a way of creating more groups in GT? I've got quite a few contacts and had them organized the way I wanted on GAIM...but I don't see a similar option on GT.

TIA!

Hey BB lovers!!!

I noticed is that sometimes when initiating the message from the bb it does not arrive at the MSN user's PC. When initiating from the PC it arrives right away and the other message pending then arrives. Is this due to the MSN transport server i'm using?

Thanks!!

No bug. Simply put, Google Talk and MSN are completely different. So when you set you're name on Google Talk, you're setting you're name ONLY for your appearance to other Google Talk members to see. But because you have a MSN transport connected, all the MSN users see your name as such as well.

Now, when you go back to MSN, you're back in your MSN profile and have a different user name. This name is only visible to MSN users. Is there any way to sync the two names? As far as I can see... no. Because they're two different names for two different networks. Really, all I can say is to set your name as the same in both Google Talk and in MSN and you should be good to go. Unless you change your name often, in which case you will have to change it on both. Sorry. That's just how it works.

Yup! Exactly. The transport you're using is what is responsible for translating your Google Talk message directed to the transport, and then directing it to the MSN network and to the appropriate online user. Because Jabber transports are a little flaky every now and then, you may see a hiccup in the communication.

The reason you see more trouble from your BB to MSN than vice versa is because sometimes the transport is too slow or runs into various errors when routing out the receiving part of the message as it has to cross networks and search. Whereas when a message is being sent from a PC to you, it simply sends the message to the transport protocol on MSN which is always lying around and can easily hunt you down because you're directly connected to it. In its "native" network so-to-speak.

If you see this more often then not, I would consider switching transports. Otherwise, after not hearing from the third party for some time, send another message saying "Hello?" or something along those lines. They should get that one after a brief wait on your part. Or, to be safe you can always "Sign Off" on your BB and sign back on and it will refresh your connection.

i have a problem with miranda. I downloaded it and when i open it, i dont see this one that was shown in the instructions:



instead, this is what opens up for me:


when i enter something like workplace or whatever and click on create. it doesnt click as in nothing happens. what is the cause of this?

your first time running the program you're supposed to get this.

just give your profile a name. THEN it will ask you your AIM, ICQ, etc information. but you can "cancel" all the if you dont need it. and THEN miranda will open up the way you expect

^ that link doesnt seem to work.

I went to Service Discovery I type in Ursine.ca then I click browse. When I went to aim.ursine.ca right-click the register button was gray. Does this mean I cant register? and also when I typed in njs.netlab.cz and click browse same result. When I scroll over aim and try to right click I cant seem to register.
Any clue why this is happening?

When I try to unregister through Psi's XML console with
<iq type='set' to='aim.im.flosoft.biz'>
<query xmlns='jabber:iq:roster'>
<item jid='aim.im.flosoft.biz' subscription='remove'/>
</query>
</iq>

I get
<iq from="aim.im.flosoft.biz" type="error" to="andy.dirnberger@gmail.com/Psi" >
<query xmlns="jabber:iq:roster">
<item subscription="remove" jid="aim.im.flosoft.biz" />
</query>
<error type="cancel" code="405" >
<not-allowed xmlns="urn:ietf:paramsml:nsmpp-stanzas"/>
</error>
</iq>

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

EDIT: I removed all of the contacts through Gmail and the run-time error that prompted me to change transports became a non-issue.

Any resolution to the 502 error???

I unregistered and deleted the portal for deepdarc.com. Somehow my mailbox still recieves error message saying deepdarc message to my buddies is delay.
Any suggestions what I could do?

I posted this question several weeks ago but still haven't had any resolution. I was using Gtalk to connect to AIM for awhile, and it worked really well. All of the sudden, everytime i logged on Gtalk, it would change my privacy preferences on AIM to 'Block users below". My usual settings are to allow those only on my buddy list to see me. I've tried to reinstall the settings on the jabber, but no luck. I can't seem to unregister from deepdarc either as that doesn't show up on Miranda as an agent i'm registered with.

Any ideas?

The steps for both the IM programs worked well for me, except the MSN transports don't connect. I've tried a hundred Jabber transports without success. Has the Windows Live shift shut transport access off their servers? Does anyone still use Google Talk for MSN contacts (on their BB, of course)?

Is their anyway to make your own transport server for aim and all...let me know all help is appreciated and we can all run on it =] hehe

Since I don't speak Czech, suggestions on how to find, install and run the proper stuff would be gratefully welcomed...

I am having no luck with any of the jabber servers listed -
I get to browse but then when I choose AIM I get a timed out, not found, etc error on everyone :(

Any other recommendations?

Let me just say that this is the greatest thing since (insert whatever blows your hair back here). I have been looking for a free way to chat with MSN Messenger people for awhile with no luck. This is working great!

Thanks for the information on this!

Has anyone figured out how to use multiple AIM screen names on this? I am using PSI and AIM finally works, but I have several names and want to integrate them like the regular aim.

Thanks.

I have this same 502 error when trying to register thru the Jabber agent for AIM. Anyone know?

OK. Got mine to work now using the servers listed in Open Jabber Servers. My AIM works fine. My Yahoo works fine, except for one annoying feature...whenever, I receive an email in Yahoo, it pops up as a conversation. Does anyone know if this is part of the feature? How can I disable this under Google Talk in my BB or any other way?

Is the jabber.anywise.com not working anymore?

it works before today, and suddenly it shows offline all the time. When I try to browse the jabber.anywise.com network, it shows nothing.

Is it possible to have my own AIM transport for personal use? I have my own server, on the lowest plan my hosting company offers, yet I have a TON of space and bandwidth unused. (dreamhost ftw!)

I would assume a personal transport would be more reliable than one of the ones listed, and if it doesn't cost anything, I might as well, to use up some of that bandwidth.

Anyone who helps out can get on the transport as well =)

I'm trying this method for the first time but unable to get past step 3 on the first post. That link isn't working for me. Can someone post up a working link? Thanks.

Edit: Nevermind. I found the backup link a few posts down.

That link is down too.

Does anyone know if deepdarc is down? Been using it sucessfully for about 3 weeks now and WHAMO... today I can't get any of my AIM contacts to pull up. It shows no friends available.

Thanks,
BB

*sigh* I use ramble and am so tempted into using GT but it seems like you guys have a lot of unstable transports. There have been questions in which transport works the best and mostly hasn't been answered yet so I'll ask again. I haven't tried to do this yet because of how complex it seems... even though everyone says that it isn't... someone needs to make a youtube video walk through hehe.

Does Miranda IM need to be running for your contacts to appear online? I can log into Google Talk just fine, but all of my contacts are offline with Miranda IM closed.

jaim.at seems pretty stable
it is the one is use right now...

google talk is better than ramble
way easier to use

OK so i tried this... i did it for yahoo app
and works fine, but when i try the AIM one..
it wont work it say unacceptable

double check everything u have with this

Connect Google Talk to AIM, MSN, & Yahoo - BigBlueBall Forums

deepdarc stopped working for me today as well?

note though, i did get rid of ramble and blackberry messenger today, but i don't see how that would correlate into minutes later googletalk not working anymore, and now when i try to get put in another transport i can't get anything to come up?

i thought i had read it elsewhere but maybe i was wrong. i went through quickly in all the posts and didn't see the answer.

i met a friend yesterday and when i tried to get them to im me from their sidekick, everything they sent just posted in their dialog box. and i never received anything. also i tried to figure out how to add them on my bb (i use deepdarc.com) and I couldn't do it. might be a little ignorant on this part. but anybody know?

Is there a way to Unregister your AIM from jabber? I want to use Google talk along with AIM in another Multi-IM program. The problem is that when I log in to Google talk and AIM on that program, I get 2 buddy lists with replicate screen names.

i've been using googletalk for almost a month now. Initially it took me a little bit to figure out but ultimately I'm still happy. I'm on the deepdarc server, and in the last month its maybe been down a couple times (but always back up in a timely manner, a few hours) and the reason for which I assume is maintenance or something?
I had a problem adding friends in googletalk (it was using gmail invites.) so i put ramble back on my bb. So now when i want to add a friend, I log out of googletalk, and do it in ramble. Then after I log out of Ramble and back in Googletalk, I have their request waiting for me. yay.

googletalk doesn't log off like ramble (or the other ims were).

overall, for anybody looking in through all these posts to find out if it's worth it or not. I say it is. Although, I haven't had problems finding servers like some people have, but i read through everything before I even installed it, and decided to use deepdarc and have am glad.

I'm new to this, I just got my blackberry, can someone give me some suggesions step by step how to get this to work on my bb (8700g) Much appreciated!

Welcome to the gang.
Go to the first page of this thread, read through it, there are all the information you need to get this going.

Just got my bb yesterday as some of you may know and I'm getting this error message when I'm trying to use Miranda to get my aim to work:

"The connection requires an OpenSSL Library, which is not installed"

Any suggestions?

I've been trying to get this to work on this bb for over 2 hours now, sad I know.

Go here and download the rar file and extract it to your Miranda folder in Program Files. Re-start Miranda...now it will work.

Too bad this wasn't at the beginning of our nearly 1-yr old thread. Hope it helps you with the step-by-step.
