+    <title>I get a message that says "Authentication failed"</title>
+    <p>
+    If you try to connect and an error message appears in the main Empathy 
+    window saying that <gui>Authentication failed</gui>, your instant messaging 
+    service is not allowing you to connect because it does not recognize your 
+    username or password for some reason.
+    </p>
+    <list>
+        <item>
+        <p>
+        Make sure that you have registered for an account with the service you 
+        are trying to connect to. If you do not have an account, most services 
+        will not allow you to connect.
+        </p>
+        </item>
+        <item>
+        <p>
+        Click the <gui>Edit Account</gui> button in the error message. Type 
+        your username and password again to make sure that they are correct. 
+        Uncheck the <gui>Enabled</gui> box next to the name of your account and 
+        then check it again to try to connect to the service again.

+    <title>I get a message that says "Network error"</title>
+    <p>
+    If you try to connect and an error message appears in the main Empathy 
+    window which says <gui>Network error</gui>, Empathy cannot communicate with 
+    the instant messaging service for some reason.
+    </p>
+    <list>
+        <item>
+        <p>
+        Check that you are connected to the Internet or network.
+        </p>
+        </item>
+        <item>
+        <p>
+        Click the <gui>Edit Account</gui> button in the error message. Expand 
+        the <gui>Advanced</gui> section and make sure that the details such as 
+        server address and port are correct. You should be able to find these 
+        details from the website of the messaging service. Uncheck the 
+        <gui>Enabled</gui> box next to the name of your account and then check 
+        it again to try to connect to the service again.

+    <p>
+    If the instant messaging account that you want to use is not enabled in the 
+    drop-down account list when you try to start a new conversation or join a 
+    chat, your account details may not be correct.
