    Did you set up the proxy in Pidgin? Using a proxy, sometimes you just may not be able to use non-HTTP services. I don't know for sure how your proxy is set up.

    I'm guessing you probably only have an HTTP proxy, which may prevent other protocols from connecting. Does Pidgin work elsewhere, and has it worked before on other networks?
