- | =====Pidgin===== | ||
- | How to set up Pidgin to connect to our Jabber server. See the main [[.:|Jabber]] page for more details. | ||
- | |||
- | - [[http://www.pidgin.im/|Download Pidgin]] (A common Jabber Client), install, and open. | ||
- | - Either from the Welcome screen or the Account menu select **Add a new account**. | ||
- | - Select the **Protocol** as //XMPP//. | ||
- | - Fill in the **Username** with the first part of your Jabber ID (e.g. if ''[email protected]'', use ''account''). <small>NB if you are in DAWWW specify ''[email protected]''</small> | ||
- | - **Domain** is ''pleaseignore.com'' | ||
- | - **Resource** as //Jabber//, or whatever name you want to use (fill this in and it'll save you some pain if you're disconnected). | ||
- | - Fill in your password in the **Password** field, and tick on "Remember Password". | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | Click **Add**, and Pidgin will attempt to auto connect. It will prompt you about an "untrusted certificate", accept the certificate and you should be connected. | ||
- | |||
- | NOTE: When you try to fetch the room list or add a room, make sure **Server** is set to //chat.pleaseignore.com//. | ||
- | |||
- | Protip: Enable the 'Join/Part Hiding' plugin. | ||
- | |||
- | Also, if you use PeerBlock it may block connections to the Jabber service - check this before assuming it's broken! |
