I am trying to use Google Talk with Messages.app, however, I am getting the following error message:

Messages can’t communicate with the Google Talk account “Google”.
Could not connect to host xmpp.l.google.com

I am connected to the internet through a proxy server.
I was able to use it without problems back at home (without proxy), but here in my university, behind the proxy, it refuses to connect.

All my setting are set to default and I'm fairly certain that it's the proxy settings which are causing the issue. Anyone know any way to make it work? Changing the port or any other settings from default?? It would be reeeaallly helpful.
