I meant – from my office. I am using gaim.1.1.0 on RedHat 7.3. Yeah, I know that it is pretty old version of Linux. But these people don’t want to upgrade for god knows why!
I had created an account on jabber (screenname – gauraw, server – jabber.org). But when I try to login, it keeps trying for a long time and then gives up saying ‘could not connect to the host’. But ‘register with server’ checkbox is nowhere to be seen. So, I assume that I AM registered.
There is no proxy/firewall here. Help me! :-).
If this information is not enough, let me know. I shall catch up on YM sometime to get this fixed.

Gauraw: Umm, so when you say “over here”, where exactly do you mean? From your home? From your office? AFAIK, both gaim and kopete should run Jabber fine, even behind a proxy/firewall. If you can provide some more details, maybe I can help out.

The number would have been 4.. only if it worked with gaim over here!
Shall try once more when I get net for my PC (waiting for airtel broadband connection).
