[OTR-users] Cannot start private conversation

[Sturgess, Chris]

Hello,

I am unable to start a private conversation with another user. We are
both using Pidgin 2.2.1 with OTR 3.1.0-1 on Windows. When clicking the
OTR button, the message window says it's attempting to start the private
conversation with the user, but nothing happens afterwards. There isn't
anything of interest in debug window when clicking the button, so I'm
wondering if it's a network issue.

 

How does OTR perform its initial handshake? Could it be one or both of
us have a port blocked that must be open?

 

Thanks in advance for any help,

 

Chris
