Re: silc-users Digest, Vol 74, Issue 2

I think the password field is if a silc server requires a password.
You should be able to join silc network without any problems and any
password.I think the public silc network does not require password to join.
Check and make sure that the server name is correct , the port is open -
usually it's TCP port 706 , or if you are in a restricted network that
prevents to connect to a specific remote ports.
Make sure that pidgin connects right to the internet using appropriate
computer environment settings.

In Pidgin account modifier/create window the network field is how you
want to name the silc network.
The connect server field is where you specify the silc server to connect
to which is located in advanced tab of the same window.
