I currently use Pidgin 2.6.2 on a machine running Ubuntu 9.10 have no 
trouble connecting to the MSN/hotmail IM system. Prior to switching to 
Ubuntu, I was running Fedora 8 with Pidgin and had no problem with that 
either. Couldn't tell you the version of Pidgin I had at the moment.

You should double check the configuration of Pidgin. Also, make sure 
your system is up-to-date and using the latest packages.
