Google talk - like application
-
Hi, I am trying to develop an application in C# to build a chat client that authenticates a user with his gmail account.. As I searched online for any open source software that might help and i found this very promising : Google Chat Desktop Application using Jabber.Net[^] If I execute this from a stand alone computer, it works fine without any problems... However, if I execute this from a corporate environment where there are NAT and firewall being configured, i get this error : A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 74.125.155.125:5222 where 74.125.155.125 is that of google. I am not sure what this means... It doesn't appear like a time out.. It looks like something in the corporate environment is blocking this communication... However, I am able to use Google Talk application in the same environment... What could be the reason? And how could it be overcome? Could someone pls help? Thanks, Ram

Hi stancrm, Just an update on this... I tried to use wirebook to get the stats and I found this out : The request is going out and reaching google... But the response is not coming back.. That seems to be the problem... Any idea? Thanks, Ram

Since you said that you have a corporate firewall in the way, I would suspect that this is blocking the responses. If you have a legitimate business reason to access Google Talk, then I suggest you contact your IT department, who may allow such traffic through for you. Otherwise, you are out of luck, probably.

I had mentioned in my first post that I am able to connect using Google Talk and initiate a chat... The problem is while trying to replicate that behavior in my application... If firewall is blocking the response, I would like to have an idea on how Google Talk is able to establish a communication that my application could not... Pls suggest... Thanks, Ram

Did you use the tools from microsoft ? You can see there, which server connected to google talk (through proxy http/https, and so on...)
