Constant ping time-out's from Adium

using latest stable Adium X on latest Apple OS X laptop connected to latest stable openFire. Everything seems fine. We know of no Internetworking issues. All other services (ie: pptp, ipsec, http, http, smtp, imap, etc) seem working fine. Adium constantly time’s out connecting to openFire & we’re struggling to find out why. I have a dozen people bitching at me night & day about this. It is driving us all up the wall. Please, someone, have some mercy on me. Any one why this is happening? what we can do to prevent it? or lessen it?

Thanks so much.
