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. :)
thanks, Yes, the adsl use NAT.
if this is the case, does it mean I have to configure the router to do
port forward to this internal ip?
this could cause additional problem if I want to use msn IM on empathy
from other home pc.
why pidigin connects ok?
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
