(15:54:57) rlaager: LSchiere: I think we're going to need a note about
this in the release notes or at least the FAQ, but probably the release
notes.
(15:55:18) Luke: we have Release Notes?
(15:55:46) rlaager: People seem to be quite touchy about their timestamps
and we broke with what we've been doing forever.
(15:55:58) Luke: oh I agree it'll need a faq entry
(15:56:12) Luke: lemme do that now before I forget
Unhandled command '911' indicates some form of authentication error.
This could be simply that your password is wrong.
Other reports of this error seem to indicate that it could be a timeout
problem, if the authenticaion process takes too long to complete, the
authentication fails.
Slowness could be caused by a number of factors, including:
- being on dialup
- slow DNS resolution
- network problems.
Please check that your configured DNS servers are correct, and are resolving
hostnames reasonably quickly. On Linux these are specified in
/etc/resolv.conf - At least 5 people resolved the '911' error by removing
incorrect DNS servers from here.
If you are still having problems please try these tests to try to identify
any potential network problems:
using telnet, try connecting to
- port 1863 on messenger.hotmail.com
- port 443 on loginnet.passport.com
- port 443 on login.passport.com
If any of those fail, or take a long time to connect, then this is probably
not a Gaim bug.
