     30=== What is a gtkrc file and where can I find it? ===

     33=== Why can't I connect? My firewall is configured to allow Pidgin access. ===
     34We've had a lot of problems with various firewalls, particularly Norton Internet Security (and Symantec Client Firewall).  Many firewalls will not fully stop interfering with a program's ability to connect when configured to do so.[[BR]]
     35For Norton Internet Security, a workaround that seems to work is to add the following ports to the global `HTTP Ports` list:
     36 * 443 -> MSN (ssl)
     37 * 1863 -> MSN
     38 * 5050 -> Yahoo
     39 * 5190 -> AIM/ICQ
     40 * 5222 -> XMPP (including Google Talk)
     41 * 6667 -> IRC

     43The Mozilla folks maintain a good Windows Firewall information resource [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls here].
