Pidgin: "Can't find host"

I just put PortableGaim Beta 2 on my USB Flash Drive and I cannot connect to MSN, Yahoo, or Google Talk. I can, however, connect to AIM and ICQ just find, oddly enough. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I'm going to be experimenting to see if I can find the problem. Thanks for any help.

Edit 2: It seems that it works on aanother computer, but I'm worried that it will stop working on the other PC I was using (don't have access to the other one at the moment). Any ideas why it didn't work on the other PC? Thanks.

Firewall, net connection settings, etc

Sounds like a firewall or net config on that machine. If a machine locks out the servers for a given protocol, you need to try the workarounds. AOL's servers, for example, listen on port 80 in addition to the default to solve this problem.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
