Did you check if you are connected to your internet provider? Are you
using wireless or wired connection? Sometimes roaming mode in wireless
gives me headache especially if I connect to a wireless network with
DHCP off and is WEP protected. The Signal bar turns blue but if I right
click that icon and click Connection Information, that's when I find out
that I don't have an IP address.

Meanwhile pidgin buddy list will display a small error at the bottom.
and it will have a reconnect button. So what I do is to first check that
my internet connection is okay, then press reconnect in pidgin and all
will be okay.

I hope this helps.
