I use empathy as IM to connect to gmail and msn (hotmail) accounts.
Use this laptop, I connect to both at work place, but at home(using
TPG adsl2+). I can't connect to the msn account. the settings are the
same. there is not many options for empathy to coonect to msn
server
messenger.hotmail.com
port 1863
anywhere to look for fix.
by the way, at the home network, it's ok to connect to the same msn
account using pidgin.

Hi Your home network will be using Nat and perhaps this is not working
correctly. You could manually set up a rule that forwards all incoming
traffic on port 1863 to your machines internal ip address:1863 and see
if that helps. :)
If you are unsure how to do this your asdl router probably has a web
interface you can connect to, connect to this and look for anything that
seems to relate to port forwarding.
Have a nice day
