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.
