[closed] bug/error: Spark Login Error

[DSapseid]

I have just downloaded the spark client for the jabber chat and when i try and login it says it cant connect to the server. I have configured the proxy tab to be the county proxy server and still no luck. Edited April 6, 2010 by ZeroHour

[DMcCoy]

Same issue here, using unfiltered proxy.

[ICTNUT]

Same here no filtering in place, and have bypass rules in place under ISA 2006

I've just connected through our LEA proxy no probs, did you set it to HTTP proxy and set spark to connect on 443?

What are other people getting edugeek.net to resolve as? 88.208.233.228

Seems we are just getting timeouts. Using OS X btw

[ICTNUT]

I am using Vista Ultimate -> goes off to try XP Pro SP2

[Domino]

try with iChat?

 

port 443 isn't blocked by LEA?

iChat says I need a valid jabber account

No, use it for lots of other stuff fine.

[Domino]

the account is the same as your one here, but in the form of [email protected]

[bizzel]

Same issue here using the Herts Grid. Edugeek.net resolves to 88.208.233.228 for me. Using SSL (443) and HTTP proxy.

[DMcCoy]

Spark ignores proxy settings (at least for me) how useful!

[DMcCoy]

Got it going with Adium on OS X instead. Spark sucks.

[Geoff]

I'm using Pidgin here (which is multiplatform).

[cookie_monster]

:-) i wasn't being facetious DMcCoy i just noticed that Spark annoyingly defaulted to socks. Pidgin works well as well as Geoff said.

[bizzel]

Pidgin did the trick. Just choose XMPP as the protocol. :-)

[ZeroHour]

Does someone want to be nice and make up rough guides for ichat and pidgin and PM me once they are ready?

ISA works fine here and I dont specify proxy settings as I have the firewall client and gateway ip configured.

[bizzel]

If pidgin is giving you read errors and/or ping timeouts, open the xmpp account settings, advanced tab, check Require SSL/TLS. Edited March 10, 2008 by bizzel
