COMM ERROR: Socket Error Code 10054 (10054) Pausing 5 secs. before reconnect Attempt Disconnected from Server!

I want this to work without connecting to jabber.org, completely autonomously behind the firewall is this possible? Oh, one other thing: why does it send passwords in the clear over the net? </BODY> </HTML>
