If you try to connect and an error message appears in the main Empathy
window which says "Network error", Empathy cannot communicate with
the instant messaging service for some reason.
Check that you are connected to the Internet or network.
Click the Edit Account button in the error message.
Expand the Advanced section and make sure that the details
such as server address and port are correct. You should be able to find
these details from the website of the messaging service.
Uncheck the Enabled box next to the name of your account and
then check it again to try to connect to the service again.
