Empathy no longer allows you to create an IRC account without a valid
nick. I've removed the guide link. Remove the text.
This kind of error happens when Empathy cannot communicate
with the instant messaging service for some reason.
Also, this kind of error happens when you try to use an IRC account without
setting a nickname.
-
Make sure that you are connected to the Internet, or to a local area network.
-
Click the edit
icon in the error message.
-
-
Check in the Advanced section that all the details are correct.
You should be able to find these details from the website of the messaging
service.
-
Deselect the Enabled, and then select it again to try to
reconnect to the service.
Proxy support
At the moment Empathy can not be configured to work with a
proxy.
