This weekend I’ve installed Mac OS X 10.3.9 on the Apple Powermac “Quicksilver” I’ve found abandoned in a magazine at work, since newest releases of the Apple operating systems (but most probably Spotlight) isn’t too kind over an ATA66 hard disk connection.

A bunch of software isn’t kept up to date with the mainstream release with this platform, so for example I couldn’t use the latest Adium for instant messaging. Fire is also a dismissed software so I choose to use my long time favourite PSI instant messaging client to manage this task.

But there was a little problem, both the official PSI faq and the official GTalk faq gave me wrong information to correctly connect to the GTalk server.

As you can see in the (clickable) image above, I had to use the “default” 5222 port to connect to the talk.google.com server instead of the 5223 port mentioned in both faqs.

Hope this helps somebody!
