I've installed Dapper Drake in one of the comps at my college lab. To

use

the net, we need to use a HTTP

proxy.

we're given an IP address ( 192.168.100.1) and a port number (3128).

I've

configured Ubuntu with these proxy settings, also I've configured

Firefox.

All connections to the net works (including updates, Automatix

etc).

But if I give the same config for Gaim it gives the following

error:

Access denied: proxy forbids port 5050

tunneling.

I've also given my IP address in the

config.

However, if I ask Gaim to "use environmental settings" for proxy, and try

connect, I

get:

Unable to

connect.

Please help me.

For Gtalk try these settings it should work:

Jabber
Options:

Select: Force old (port 5223)
SSL

Connect Port:
443

Connect Server: talk.google.com

Proxy
Options:

Proxy type:
HTTP

Host: 192.168.100.1

Port:
3128
