Gaim si Kopete in Mandriva 2007 comunity

chiar nu imi explic ce are gaim si kopete in mandriva 2007, dar nu mi se conecteaza. ORICE alta distributie, inclusiv mandriva mai vechi, merge foarte bine. Chiar nu cred ca am gresit ceva la setari, doar le-am facut de zeci de ori, si chiar am reinstalat mandriva 2007 ca sa fiu sigur ca nu am gresit ceva configuratii.
Specific ca eu fac parte dintr-o retea ce are contact cu exteriorul printr-un server proxy. Inainte datele de conectare puteau fi dinamice, dar au facut adminii ceva si nu mai merge decat static. Setarile sunt facute, dar tot nu merge. Cu EXACT aceleasi setari merge fedora core 4, dar un slackware 10.2 nu merge. Yahoo mess din windows merge doar daca aleg proxy.

Erorile sunt urmatoarele (le-am scris pe un forum in engleza):
kopete gives the following error: "There was an error while conecting XXXX to the Yahoo server. Error message: 1-name lookup has failed."

in the console I get the following lines:
"QMetaObject::findSignal:ClientStream: Conflict with Stream::readyRead()
QObject::disconnect: No such signal Client::gotBuddyIconRequest(const QString&)"

Gaim doesn't give any errors in the console. Still, it takes about 1 minute till I get a message in gaim saying: "XXX disconected: Unable to connect"

After altering the connection settings in gaim, specifing the exact proxy settings in http for the XXXX account, I get the following error: "XXXX disconnected: Access denied: proxy server forbids port 5050 tunnelling"

daca are careva vreo idee (care nu e evidenta, ca degeaba imi spuneti sa vad daca nu sunt gresit introduse datele de proxy), va rog sa ma ajutati.
Mersi
