ohkay, when I use Gaim/Pidgin to connect to MSN's IM servers I constantly get switchboard and timeout errors. When I go to Meebo.com and use there services and connect to MSN's IM servers I still get errors. But then when I switch over to my mom's laptop that runs Windows and use Meebo to connect to MSN, magically I don't get anymore problems. So, does anyone have a clue on how to fix this? I recently just today updated from a Beta version of Gaim to the latest version of Pidgin, hoping that that would fix my problems. But it didn't help.

Hi Isaac - it's been awhile.

Maybe you've already seen this but have you looked at this link?
