Hey guys, its been a while since I last posted something on this tech blog. So here we go. Today I’ll explain in detail, how to run Google Talk and get it running on CCF, or any computing facility where everything else but firefox is blocked. So let’s begin.
Step 1:
Download the Google Talk Setup Installation file from http://dl.google.com/googletalk/googletalk-setup.exe . After downloading it, change its filename to firefox.exe
Step 2:
Install the setup properly. The installation is expected to go without a hitch.
Step 3:
Go to “My computer“<”C:“<”Documents and Settings“<”knsccf.CCFSVR0.001“<”Start Menu“<”Programs“<”Google Talk“
Inside this folder you will find the icon of Google Talk and below would be written “Google Talk”.
Right Click on it, Go to “Properties”.
Replace, Target from “C:\Documents and Settings\knsccf.CCFSVR0.001\Application Data\Google\Google Talk\google-talk.exe” /startmenu” to “C:\Documents and Settings\knsccf.CCFSVR0.001\Application Data\Google\Google Talk\firefox.exe” /startmenu
Step 4:
Now go to “My Computer“<”C:“<”Documents and Settings“<”Application Data“<”Google“<”Google Talk“
You will find the main file of Google Talk titled “google-talk.exe“. Rename it to “firefox.exe“
Step 5:
Now, as we all know the proxy settings are harsh on our CCF computers. So some proxy configuration.
On the login dialogue box of Google talk, Click on the “Settings” on the top right corner of the Google Talk dialogue box which opens.
In the left sidebar of the Window which now opens, there is an option called “Connection”. Click on it.
Click on the radio button saying “Use the following proxy:” Click the checkbox, the proxy requires authentication. In the “Host” text box, enter “10.1.1.5″ and in the “Port” dialogue box, enter “8080″. Then enter you CCF ID and Passowrd in the boxes of “Username” and “Password” below the one in which you’ve just entered the proxy. That’s it, you’re done.
Now click
