Hello there,
Till now, I was always under the impression that gtalk on the computer connects exactly the same way as Gvoice on Obitalk. However, this does not seem to be the case.
Recently, a friend of mine who purchased obi is encountering an issue that gtalk works fine in his computer but the does not work on Obitalk (it keeps saying "Connecting to ipaddress"). He is connecting from the same router and is using Google DNS. One thing, we noticed that Gtalk was connecting via port 443 on the computer as opposed to a different port on Obitalk. This means, that if there was a firewall that blocked ports like 19305 but kept 443, 80 open, then Gtalk would work on the computer but would not work on Obitalk.
Has someone else faced a similar issue. Is there a way to make obitalk talk to google servers EXACTLY the same way as gtalk on the computer???
