I waant to get empathy to work but am having problems. In my research I found this possible solution:<br clear="all"><p class="line867"><strong>     Problem</strong>: Can add a Yahoo account but get a network error connecting (proxy server active) <span class="anchor" id="line-29"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-30"></span></p>
<p class="line867"><strong>     Solution</strong>:
 As Yahoo uses port 5050, this port has to be able to get through.  If 
your internet connection is via a <br></p><p class="line867">      proxy server the proxy server has to 
allow a port 5050 tunnel. <span class="anchor" id="line-31"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-32"></span></p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;">In
 squid proxy, by default the group of SSL_ports are allowed to be 
tunnelled.  A few ports are predefined.  You can add port 5050 to these 
ports by adding the line <span class="anchor" id="line-33"></span><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;">&#39;acl SSL_ports port 5050         # Empathy - Yahoo connection&#39; <span class="anchor" id="line-34"></span></li>
</ul></li><li style="list-style-type: none;">Add the above line at the bottom of the other &#39;acl SSL_ports ...&#39; lines.  Everything after the &#39;#&#39; is a comment only <span class="anchor" id="line-35"></span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">Restart the squid proxy <span class="anchor" id="line-36"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-37"></span></li><li class="gap" style="list-style-type: none;">One
 last thing, if you don&#39;t control your proxy server, for example you use
 a company proxy server, you would have to ask the administrator to 
enable port 5050 tunnelling. </li></ul><br>Unfortunately, the solution didn&#39;t tell me where squid proxy is. I tried &#39;locate squid&#39; from / but that returned null. Anybody want to help me out? Maybe I used locate incorrectly.<br>
