  1. You have to change the advanced options of the account.
  2. Check box for "Force old SSL..."
  3. Set "Port" to 443
  4. Set "Server" to talk.google.com

Haha, asked the question, then used the lmgtfy.com web site to find the answer? ;) – JMD Oct 5 '09 at 18:35

Why third party blog links ? Google's Support page mentions it. google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=49147 – Sathya♦ Oct 5 '09 at 20:19

Sathya: This answer was the only one that enabled my Work GTalk on Pidgin after searching wildly on the internet. The key was to use 'Use old style SSL' and to set the port to '443'. This isn't mentioned in Google's support page. – runaros Mar 20 at 15:05
