I got a problem for Google Talk .. [Could not authenticate to server] .. My company is using in internet access with firewall settings. Anyone do u have idea how to solve it ?

Thks for ur helping to me ??

It don't work on my puta - Connection error - could not authenticate to server. Help section is absolutely useless. If I click check my email it goes straight to my gmail in box, so that's not the problem C

I can't make it work I get

"Could not authenticate to server."

Some suggestion?

Thanks

I have no firewalls installed, nor antispywares.

Kopete also supports jabber. Just worth mentioning, as gaim isn't the only game in town :)

If all the IM companies would switch to the jabber protocol, the internet would be such a better place. Finaly..IM would reach the compatability level of email.

Google made the right move.

This is great! Does what I want without all the other junk I dont. Light & Clean. Great Job Google!!

excellent extraordinary

total complete

nice interface, lets you know when you have mail, but it does not stay updated to your gmail account.

Hmm .. I liked it .. I see it has a nice future .. One of the best things is that they didnt created yet another chat protocol .. I saw in their developer pages they will soon include support for SIP too ... Lets see..

Anyways .. If this doesnt look like spam, I reviewed it here :

Davenport posted below that there was a way to dock GoogleTalk into the new Google Desktop Search Sidebar. Does anyone know how?

I sure as heck can't find a way, and there's nothing about it on the GoogleTalk help page.

Double click the Google Talk title bar.

That didn't work =(

What am I missing!?

Not sure, but I saw these instructions elsewhere:

1. Install Google Talk.
2. Close Sidebar. (Actually close it, don’t just minimize it.)
3. Wait 15 seconds and open Sidebar.
4. Select Add/Remove Panels from the Sidebar menu.
5. Select Google Talk, which now appears on the list.

yes, you need to close and open the desktop search then go to add/remove panels and it should be there

That's it!

w00t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you! That worked!

If I hadn't read JDARRT's comment above yours, you would have been my hero. But now instead, you are providing me with old news. Loser.

j/k =p

Thanks!

I beat his 'edited' post by 20 minutes :p

Seems they're having some server issues with the sheer numbers of folks using this.

Hai i am not able to sign in.I tired in 2 different Pcs but both showing problem.First one is getting error message saying cannot autent.... second one just keep signing in with out any response

i think most ppl are going to use it only because its a goolge product. i know that it runs faster than msn messenger, it also takes more memory than msn messenger, i got that from the taskmanager,, well im only using it instead of using gmail notifier

There is no possible way that it uses more RAM than msn messenger with all the crap it has running in the background. For me it uses 3 megs of RAM as opposed to MSN messenger which used like 15 megs. You're looking at something wrong.

has anyone been able to test the voice quality on it?

Yes we tried the voice and it was very clear! I think that is will be a great IM. If they keep it simple and get it to talk with everyone else.

I can't log in, whats the matter with me or sign in process, please help me, gpgo@hotmail.com

I hope you're joking....

if you are behind a firewall it may be blocking

look at the e-mail address. Hotmail won't work

Nice program...works great!

...and less filling?

Where's AdSense? I know it's somewhere in this program...

Just one more thing to block on the firewall. Sigh.

have fun needlessly screwing up your firewall.

Anyone able to get it working in a corporate environment? I'd love to try it out, but it falls well under the 'useless' catagory if it doesn't work in the office.

Working right now in a Corp Env.

No problems at all.

Hmmmm.... Keep getting the error 'Could not authenticate to server.'

Ah well.

Guys, try this nad let me know:

Add wumpus.game to your friends list. You should then be able to play the (1972) game "Hunt the Wumpus." (According to easter-egg article on tech-recipies)

Works great where I work. Internally and with a friend outside working at another company.

Doesn't work.

Running it right now.

I love it.

No bloat. Everything you need and nothing you don't.

Go Google!

Ya know...

I gotta quit saying, "It'll never happen."

They always prove me wrong... Apple, Google...the bas****s.

:P

wincement - I'd say don't hold your breath for GoOs, but....considering I was wrong on this one by pretty much *all* counts (conectivity with other clients, it happening at all, jabber, etc...).

I, for one, welcome our new IM overlords.

soon google will rule the world. :P

And you'll be driving my car, eh?

Repeat after me...A Google OS...It will never happen. Cool! I'm looking forward to the beta release. :o)

From below concerning Google OS:

Uh..

"It'll Never Happen"(tm)

There. Should be out tomorrow.

i forgot about that :P anyway i got a hummer so i'm happy don't need another one

"As expected, Google Talk is based on the Jabber protocol, meaning users will have several other options to access the service including Adium and iChat for OS X, Trillian for Windows, and GAIM and Psi for either platform as well as Linux."

Sweet. Get to work Gaim!

**EDIT**
They already have a tutorial on GoogleTalk's help page to add it to Gaim!!!

http://www.google.com/su.../answer.py?answer=24073

However... I don't think the voice calls would be supported using this method =(

...Get to work Gaim!!!

This bites. not Google Talk, but the fact that they had to go and implement every feature I said they wouldn't.

bia***es.

ROFL

I wonder when that web-based office suite will come out. =p

Uh..

"It'll Never Happen"(tm)

There. Should be out tomorrow.

lol oh man...

I nearly fell over.

you dont have a computer chair? What do u stand and surf the internet? sheesh....

Don't fool yourselves people... it's only 900KB because they haven't added in Desktop search and the Google Toolbar, etc.... yet. They also haven't (yet) provided a lot of the so-called "basic" features like file transfers, emoticons, etc. As they increase features, the size will increase too. Get used to it.

pretty much

File transfers - get emule or some crap
emoticons - keep your AOL account.
I hate to say it but unfortunately people complain about IM's being bloated... people made them that way. Requesting stupid unneeded features. It's meant for chat, period. You don't need file transfer, laundry lister, emoticons, word processor, mp3 player, news, weather, and all this other crap that everybody is trying to incorporate into their clients. It's a shame that stupidity is ruling...

Its a bit bland at the moment but im sure as its in beta more features will be added. Google came up with the goods with gmail and im sure thay will suprize us yet again.

Just what we need another IM service out there. Wouldn't be nice if Google brought them all together under 1 roof like trillian. Isn't it hard enough to keep in touch with Friends, Co-workers, etc. with the current group of IM services out there? Seems like we the user are getting short end of stick here with such a slimmed down IM. I expect much more from the likes of Google and hopefully they will deliver. But we will all see...

"But we will all see..."

Yup we will. It's still only the first day of their beta release.

Haven't tried it yet. Will do. But... From the Article, it does seem like this was thrown together. I'm used to Google blowing u away with Neat(tm) stuff, so I'll reserve judgement until I actually use the thing.

Nice apps, a must have for everyone that has a gmail account!

I have invites!

>>However, the company did warn that the beta version of Google Talk does not have any type of encryption. "We plan to fully support encryption of chats and calls before our official release," Google says.

What? Do others support encryption? (Yahoo, MSN etc.)?

AIM does.

Thats what they want you to think!

I just found out that Google Talk can be docked into the new Google Desktop 2 Sidebar. Very nice! Kudos to Google!

how?

I feel stupid for having to ask

grrr....

"Google said it was aligning with Earthlink and Sipphone to make these features possible, but provided no timetable for planned availability."

here's an excerpt of my VLing review 1½ months ago:

"...for Earthlink, why spend resources on something like this, instead of hooking up w/ any established SIP and/or VOIP provider? Such an arrangement would be mutually beneficial: an entity that could provide any one naked / or all combined services under one roof: POTS local & long distance, SIP, VOIP, dsl, broadband cable...

If i was their CEO: after doing that i'd subsequently begin acquiring and/or working up mutual agreements w/ local/regional/international cell/wireless/wifi providers, then court GOOGLE to be their provider or acquiree..."

& to both-- those irritated w/ Google bandwagon-- & those in Google camp but worried @ it's present stock price:
just ride the money wave(think Buffet's Hathaway)-- the price can well rise into 5 figs, w/ or w/o splits... Don't worry that the coming housing slowdown may drag stocks down-- that would benefit Google even more, as they'd grab everything they need for next to nothing-- w/ that pile of cash they're sitting on...and it would finish off their main UN-cost-conscious rivals. Plus, their apps are made to run on ancient, budget equipment-- so a severe deflation killing new pc sales wouldn't faze them.
They're THE play in both a hot & cold market.

I have no time to chat, too busy with GOOGLE EARTH! If they can keep all the adds and crap out (or to a minimum) they will be so much better off! AIM has turned into an Ad Nightmare, kept second worse only by the Yahoo garbage, the worst infection an OS can get.

LOL, too true... unfortunately MSN isn't much better with their new-found emphasis on webcams.

There is a "cheat" to remove aim ads!

You do realize you're giving your e-mail address away on a public forum right?

*rolls eyes*

Or phishing for yours!

that too..

At least it is not in the address form because robots will spam you.

True, but anyone reading it can add 2 + 2

Google Talk only works if you have a Gmail account.

[username] + @gmail.com = entire address.

BTW

anyone with a cell phone can get a gmail account-- just visit their homepage...

Guess what Bill Gates is doing right now?

He is chatting with his friend using Google Talk ;)

Bill Gates has friends?

For those people who don't like what they call bloat (I like so-called bloat because it translates to features and services), this is the client for them. It's quick, easy and anyone can use it. In any case - I like it.

So light, so refreshing.

Very basic, but i would rather see it bulk up a bit with bit more services.
-GGR

Simple and sweet. Finally a communication client without the bloat. Great product - even in beta form.

What are you talking about? Miranda has been around for yonks.

Edit: Ah, I didn't realise it had voice communication. Although it's only a matter of time until Miranda has that too. :)

i can't wait for a full product review, i just scoped out the new features ^^ its great. timestamps an old post, remembers ya convo so if ya close the window it'll return to you if you click the name again or if they im ou. if you ignore an im it'll pop up a small bubble above the taskbar icon showing you what they said. it uses ya contacts list as a buddy list, uses thats earch bar as a filter list, and the invite is almost as easy as the gmail invite, just click a name after the filter. mm wha else? my fav feature - when chatting and you ramble lots of text, it won't make a new line with 'itanshi says' etc like on the other im clients ^^ i endorse it now

Very simple indeed. Looking forward to see the future of this one. But I don't see it docking to my Google Desktop yet?
