File transfer
Such a thing as file sharing is already an essential feature of a normal instant messenger. Google Talk also has such an element. Unfortunately, the coverage of this issue in the official source is reduced only to an analysis of faults. There are about eight in English for one item in the description in Russian. Such inattention even hurts a little.
One of the most common questions in this area is the absence of a file transfer button from a friend in the contact list. The explanation is simple: files can be transferred only to those users who have connected through Google Talk. Users communicating using other instant messengers or via Gmail chat cannot send you their files. Just like you do them.
If the interlocutor himself uses Talk, then opposite his name in the contact list will be the corresponding button. Clicking on it will open the file selection window. The sender will then have the option to continue or abort the transfer, and the receiving user will have the option to accept or reject the file. You can also select a file using the drag and drop mechanism by dragging it into the chat window.
Received files are saved in the My Documents folder by default. Most likely, this will be the C: \\ Documents and Settings \\ username \\ My Documents \\ Google Talk directory or another if it was specified separately. The application does not limit the size or type of upload, however large files will take longer. It is unknown if resuming in case of failure is supported.
Subsequent adjustment
The application may not always work normally after installation. The most common situation is when a message appears stating that you cannot connect to Google Talk. In most cases, the problem is with the firewall. You need to check if it allows you to use the Internet messenger. You may need to change the parameters slightly. Recommendations for customization can be found here McAfee Personal Firewall , Norton Personal Firewall , PC-Cillin Internet Security , Tiny Personal Firewall , ZoneAlarm.

If this problem is caused by a proxy server, you need to go to the "Settings" menu in Google Talk, select the "Connection" item, then "Use the following proxy server", check the box next to "Proxy server requires authentication". Next, enter the username and password of the proxy server. If this does not help, then there is an option that the administrator may have blocked Google Talk on your network. If this error message continues to appear, you will have to contact your provider (at home) or administrator (at work).
Sometimes, using a proxy server can cause messages like "connection to Google Talk has been blocked." This may be because the Google Talk network connection drops unexpectedly, even if the Internet connection is OK. This is usually caused by the proxy server limiting the duration of the communication session or disconnecting the user for some other reason (for example, if too many resources are used). Such issues also need to be resolved with the administrator.
If you're having trouble connecting to Google Talk through a firewall or proxy server, it's often the case that necessary ports are blocked. To connect to Google Talk and start instant messaging, you must allow TCP connections to talk.google.com using port 5222 or 443. If you want to make calls using this messenger, you must allow UDP connections to any server using any port, and also allow TCP connections to any server using port 443.
Wait, who's coming?
Some google errors Talk may be associated with spyware on your computer
Science does not know for certain why, when working with Google Talk, messages like "Account blocked" or "Enter password" may appear. This shouldn't happen. However, in order to combat such phenomena, it is necessary, while working on a computer on which you cannot log into Google Talk, from a safe distance, click on this link ... Then you need to enter your Google username and password, as well as characters from the garbled picture. After successfully signing in to your account, you will need to restart Google Talk and try to sign in again.
The most interesting error that can happen with Google Talk gives the message: "There was an internal error in Google Talk, so it stopped working. Report the bug to Google?" In this case, most likely, the situation is related to the fact that the computer contains the rlls.dll file. This file refers to softwarethat tracks how users browse the Internet. So you need to be vigilant. You can read more on this issue at this page where Google provides guidance on how to deal with such situations. At the top right there will be a tab with a choice of language.
Call me...
If you have any difficulties with sound transmission, you should first check the correct connection of the microphone and speakers. The next step is to check the sound settings on the computer itself. In the control panel, in the "Sounds and Audio Devices" item, go to the "Volume" tab and click "Advanced" in the "Mixer Volume" section. In the window that opens, you need to check the microphone settings. If this does not solve the problem, you will need to make sure the microphone is selected in the Output Device drop-down list in the Audio section of Google Talk settings.
It is worth recalling that you cannot make a call, as well as transfer files, to users who are not currently using the Google Talk client. Another question is when there is a connection, but the echo interferes. This already applies to the laws of physics: you need to ask the interlocutor to move away from the speakers.
Another default setting, which may confuse the user: when the speakers are muted (in the PC settings), Google Talk automatically turns it on when you receive an incoming call. This option is controlled in the application settings under the "Audio" tab. It is necessary to uncheck the "Turn on loudspeaker on call" checkbox. The main thing after that is not to forget to turn on the speakers manually in order to answer calls.
Another mystery. Using "Diagnostic Logging", the developers came to the conclusion (allegedly from user reports) that those who installed the Total Recorder application, Google Talk does not work correctly. Details were not disclosed, but "engineers are working on it." In the meantime, in faint hope, they offer to go to the Total Recorder website and download the latest updates.

Google Talk has occupied an intermediate niche on the Web between video communication and IM-pagers
The release of Google Talk did not generate the hype that some analysts had predicted. Of course, he pushed competitors in the Internet voice communications market (Microsoft and Yahoo), but he did not "crush" other developers of IM-pagers. The application is quite friendly to the products of other companies, that is, using Talk absolutely does not interfere with communicating with users of ICQ, Trillian, Psi, and so on. However, Google's development has a significant advantage - voice communication... Like, feel the difference. In addition, Google recommends Talk as a complete intercom solution in its advertising reviews for midsize and large businesses. There is no need to spend money on mini-PBX and other equipment if there is a local network.
Skype specialists hastened to respond with statements: since communication will go through the servers of the Internet giant itself, it means that there is no certainty that the confidentiality of information will be preserved. Against the background of such statements, the emergence of one supposedly random article is interesting. It spoke about the dissatisfaction of the German police, which could not listen to the conversations via Skype. PR or official statement? Would the police have confessed to their audition failures?
Still tight integration with others google services, especially with Gmail, has allowed the company to push ahead with its other services. This is understandable: free services attract users to engage them in commercially profitable projects. It is believed that Google made a mistake by allowing email clients to download emails without seeing ads on Gmail. If so, then the company won back part of the profit with this move.
Thus, Google Talk has firmly carved its niche between video communication like Skype and Internet messengers, bringing creators their share of the profit. True, in recent times especially striking events regarding the development of this Internet messenger are not noticeable. Perhaps he was lost somewhere in the thickness of the countless projects of this restless company. In favor of this version can be attributed and the weak updating of the "Manual" for Google Talk: some functions that are already present in the pager as described, the company's employees are just going to develop.
The application itself is the free cheese that should lure users into Gmail so that they can view Google ads there, too. Perhaps this is a very convenient and functional solution, from which everyone benefits, which fits well into the popular life-affirming wording: "Google is our friend!"
