Pidgin "Waiting for network connection" when connected

[Ken Wright]

I've only been using Pidgin for a few days, but this may keep me from
continuing.

I have a dialup connection.  Two days ago Pidgin was working perfectly.
Today I get "Waiting for network connection" even when I'm connected to
my ISP.

I can't find any information about this in the online help, so here I
am.  Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Ken

Assuming that Network Manager still doesn't handle dial-up connections,
it's probably related to that. Try running pidgin with the "-f" flag. To
do that, open a terminal and run: pidgin -f
