How do I configure Gaim to connect to Google Talk for my domain?

Once you download Gaim, you'll need to configure your client to connect to the Google Talk service. If you're not a Google Apps for Your Domain user, please visit the Google Talk Help Center for instructions.

To configure your account:

1. Open Gaim.
2. Click Accounts at the bottom of the login page.
3. Click Add from the Accounts window.
4. Enter the following information in the Add Account window:

* Protocol: Jabber
* Screen Name: Your Google Talk username (without any @ symbol or domain).
* Server: Enter the portion of your email address after the @ symbol. For example, gordon@example.com will enter example.com as the Server value.
* Password: We suggest leaving this field blank for increased security, but if you'd like to log in automatically, enter your password.
* Alias: Leave this field blank.
* Remember password: Check this box if you'd like Gaim to remember your password (you won't be prompted to enter it each time you log in, if you select this option).
* Auto-login: Check this box if you'd like to connect to the Google Talk service each time you use Gaim.

5. Click the + next to Show more options.
6. Enter the following information in the section that appears:

* Jabber Options: Select Use TLS if available and leave the other boxes unchecked.
* Port: 5222
* Connect server: talk.google.com
* Proxy type: Use Global Proxy Settings

7. Click Save.

Congratulations! You're now ready to connect to the Google Talk service using Gaim.
