unable to make pidgin work for Gtalk on jaunty(or any other yahoo,msn..)

Asked by shail

 I' am on jaunty and could not get pidgin work for GTalk.
 i created google account with following settings:

 Under basic tab:

 Protocol: XMPP
Username: <user name>(without @gmail.com)
Domain: gmail.com
Resource : home
Passward: **********
Remember password : checked

Advance settings:

  connect port : 5222
file transfer proxies: proxy.jabber.org
proxy type: use GNOME proxy settings
  all the other fields left blank.

  On connecting error message is displayed:

     <username>@gmail.com/home Disconnected

   I tried it again by setting connect server field in advance tab to talk.google.com

   but its does'nt work well for me.
