+ If you try to connect and you get a message saying <gui>Authentication failed</gui>,
+ your instant messaging service is not allowing you to connect because it does not
+ recognize your username or password for some reason.
+ </p>
+
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Make sure that you have registered for an account with the service you
+ are trying to connect to. If you do not have an account, most services
+ will not allow you to connect.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Click the <gui>Edit Account</gui> button in the error message. Type
+ your username and password again to make sure that they are correct.
+ Deselect the <gui>Enabled</gui> box next to the name of your account and
+ then select it to try to connect to the service again.
