Hey I used empathy but I cant get voice chat to work. I managed to get
the call icon in the window but when I call It is immediately
disconnected. Any fixes?

It uses gnome settings. Set network proxy from gnome preferences menu.

What version you have? Try the latest.

I use Gutsy Gibbon but I don't want to go through the hassle of
upgrading or formatting . Will I get I t to work on Gutsy?

[BINNY THOMAS]

I didn/t get empathy but something like Moblin chat found in the
Add/Remove programs in Gutsy but it still uses libempathy.

[junise safvan]

but gnome setting is set to the proxy, synaptic is not working

so I edited /etc/apt/apt.conf and direct connection in gnome network proxy settings

It is strongly tied to gnome and I think you need gnome 2.22 minimum, recommended is the latest gnome. If you absolutely have to stay on that platform and not upgrade the os, I suggest building latest empathy from source. But be warned that it can be a nightmare, especially if you are not used to building from source.

Synaptic has its own proxy setting somewhere in the menu.
