Make sure you are not connected to Tigase server with any other Jabber client to the account at the same time as this may affect your transport configuration.

It is available on Tigase Website, preinstalled and preconfigured. You can run it clicking on this link, enter you user name and password to login. In my case this is test and ***. Click Login and go to next page...

You are logged in, you may see some contacts on buddy list or empty list if you have no contacts. You can add somebody or just start chatting but in this guide we will focus on MSN transport configuration.

Now click Jeti button and select Manage Services menu option...

As a result you will get the windows with all tigase.org services.

This version of Jeti client doesn't support service browsing yet so you have to enter correct address of MSN transport: msn.tigase.org.

Click Change server and you get another window which looks like this one. Now single click on PyMSNt Commands text to get another window where you have to enter you MSN user name and password.

Make sure you enter full MSN account name here including hotmail.com part or any other domain name you use for you MSN account.

Click OK now.

Well, you clicked OK and nothing really happened. The main Jeti windows looks as it looked before. The same, possibly emoty buddy list and no track of MSN transport. Unfortunately this Jeti version doesn't refresh transport list properly and you have to re-login to see the transport. Jeti author is aware of this problem and it will be addressed in next release.

So please close the Jeti window and start application again entering you Tigase user name and password.

As you can see MSN transport is available now but it is grayed out which means you are not logged in to MSN service.
To activate (login) to MSN service right click on the MSN Transport to get contect menu. Select Log On...

If everything was entered correctly and if MSN service is available you should be loged in to the transport and it should show in green color. All your MSN contacts should be automatically pulled in to your application.

For the Jabber client now there is no difference between MSN contacts and Jabber contacts. So you can simply continue to use Jeti or close it and login with any other Jabber client.

You can now communicate with all people regardless they are available through XMPP or MSN.
