Bitlbee [SOLVED]

Hey guys, I'm having trouble getting AIM and Google Talk to connect over bitlbee, although my msn works fine.

AIM gets an error saying it can't log in, and Google Talk gets an error saying it can't connect to the server. Here are the commands I'm using:

acount add oscar <user> <pass> login.oscar.aol.com

and:

account add jabber <user> <pass> talk.google.com:5223:ssl

any help?

EDIT: nvm...I switched from using one of those public servers to my own, and it worked =P

Re: Bitlbee [SOLVED]

ok, now I'm wonderin' how do I change my default nick. When I connect to bitlbee, I'm given the nick "weechat_user" and when I try to change it, I get the following:

The hand of the deity is upon thee, thy nick may not change (weechat_user)

any ideas?

Re: Bitlbee [SOLVED]

no yeah I got connected alright when I stopped using the public servers...if you read my second post my problem now is changing my default nick from 'weehcat_user' =P

EDIT: someone helped me on IRC to fix it . I just added a server definition to my weechat.rc

I have to same problem. Instead of exercising their sense of humor, maybe they should give you a more informative error message.
