Pidgin 2.1.x : MSN switchboard error - Workaround

PidginPreviously on my post on pidgin msn switch error, a lot of pidgin users were affected by the bug/defect. However, there are simple workaround suggested.

1. edit your msn account information

2. click on the advanced tab

3. clear “use HTTP method”

4. make proxy type: no proxy.

Well, it works for me. This won’t help in corporate network environment though. (Outgoing connection on port 1836 is not commonly allowed).
