Comment 4 for bug 300988

From the link you gave me, I understand you want me to configure my proxy to allow those ports. Unfortunately, I am not an administrator here, the only thing I can configure is how pidgin connects to the internet. In my case, it has to go through http proxy 10.8.1.1:3128.

Looking at the account configuration menu (advanced tab), it seems like 5050 is the pager port (whatever that is) used by Yahoo in Japan. So normally, I wouldn't even need it.
