           Summary: msn connection fail without notification if incorrect
                    proxy
           Product: kopete
           Version: 0.12.3
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: fabio.varesano poste it


Version:           0.12.3 (using KDE 3.5.5, Arch Linux)
Compiler:          Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18-ARCH

Ok, I try to describe the problem I found.

Today I used my notebook at school where we access the Internet throught a local \
proxy on the school lan. In order to use the Internet I set up correctly konqueror's \
proxy (manual setting the proxy IP, port). I successfully used konqueror to browse \
the web.

However when I get back home I forget to remove the proxy setting from konqueror. \
Obviously the proxy were not available from my home lan.

I then started kopete. Gtalk, I don't know why, worked, while MSN did not. The MSN \
icon simply flipped but after some seconds returned gray again.

I then started analysing the problem. I understood that I left the proxy setting in \
konqueror. I set again on "direct connection to the Internet" then kopete started \
working again.

Now I guess that kopete MSN were aware of the proxy setting and tryied to connect to \
it.

However if connection to the proxy fails (is this case) kopete simply does anything \
returning unconnected.

The user should be notified of connection problems if proxy server is used.

Thanks,

Fabio Varesano
